Wedding Venues in Riebeek Kasteel & Tulbagh
Riebeek Kasteel
1. ALLESVERLOREN FUNCTION & CONFERENCE VENUE
The history of this Swartland winery wedding venue dates back to somewhere between 1696 and 1704, when the governor of the Cape allocated the land to a widow named Cloete. By 1806, Allesverloren’s owners had already harvested the first wine grapes; and have been producing wine ever since the estate passed into the hands of the Malan family, 140 years ago.
The ancient oak trees and vineyards that creep up the majestic Kasteelberg in the picturesque Riebeek Valley, set the scene for memorable weddings, conferences and other events.
Why not exchange vows on the oldest wine estate, Allesverloren Wedding Venue, in the Swartland? Set amidst majestic Bluegum trees, the beautiful Allesverloren bush chapel offers spectacular mountain views, excellent cuisine, award-winning wines and a charming reception venue.
2. CAFÉ FELIX
One of the top Riebeek wedding venues, Cafe Felix is suitable to host weddings for up to about 120 people. A number of weddings have been successfully hosted at Cafe Felix including the first and famous wedding of Charles and Dioni Lalieu (to this day this is still a talking point in town) and of course… Ruben’s wedding.
The Riebeek Valley is a very popular wedding venue mainly because of its natural beauty, the close proximity to Cape Town, the availability of good value-for-money venues and the availability of ample, good and affordable accommodation. It is not unusual to have two or three weddings over the same weekend in the Valley.
Cafe Felix is also becoming quite popular for wedding couples from abroad (especially for couples with family ties in South Africa) mainly due to the good climate, friendly people and keen pricing compared to overseas wedding venues. The whole wedding package including the church, the priest, the music, the flowers, the photographer, the food, the wine, the dance and the party can be arranged. The only thing that cannot be arranged is the weather.
