Experience

The Alexander Estate

Intimate. Immersive. Incredibly special.

The Alexander Estate is spread across an expansive coastal vineyard in Noordhoek, the estate is perched on the doorstep of all of Cape Town’s iconic landmarks – such as Kalk Bay, Cape Point and Boulder’s Beach.

Instead of staying in the city and travelling out for beauty- guests at The Alexander Estate are in the beauty, able to dip into the buzz of Cape Town when they choose, and retreat to calm when they crave it.

The Alexander Estate invites guests to experience a curated collection of luxurious and deeply sensory moments. These experiences, crafted with care and steeped in beauty, offer a glimpse into the estate’s soul—where relaxation, flavour, nature, and indulgence intertwine.

Mini High Tea with Piano

The Alexander Estate invites guests to indulge in a refined mini high tea, set in the elegant Limelight Lounge, overlooking the estate’s sun-drenched vineyards, this experience is elevated by the soft, melodies of their baby grand piano. Guests are presented with an exquisite array of delicate pastries, savoury treats, and fragrant teas—meticulously prepared and beautifully styled.

Wine Tasting & Oyster Pairing

For lovers of fine flavour and terroir, this guided tasting is pure alchemy. Guests explore a curated flight of The Alexander Estate’s boutique wines, each thoughtfully paired with plump, ocean-fresh West Coast oysters. Under the care of our in-house wine expert, the tasting becomes an engaging journey—through varietals, vineyard techniques, and the subtle art of pairing. The combination of sea and soil, elevated by crisp mountain air and panoramic views, makes this a truly Cape experience. Alternative pairings are also available on request.

Sunset Swim with Cocktails & Canapés

As day drapes the valley in hues of gold and amber, guests are drawn to the estate’s infinity pool for an hour of casual elegance. Here, signature cocktails and seasonal canapés are served beside rippling waters, as the sun dips behind the mountains in a finale of light and colour. Whether reclining poolside or enjoying animated conversation, this is the estate’s most convivial and photogenic hour—a time to unwind, reflect, and toast to beauty. Mocktails are lovingly crafted and on offer too.

Bespoke Vineyard or Dam Picnic

This is the kind of memory guests take home and talk about for years. Whether beneath vines or beside the tranquil Echo Dam, each picnic is carefully curated to reflect the estate’s ethos of soulful luxury. Guests arrive to a perfectly arranged setting—blankets or a German-style booth, artisanal picnic fare, hand-picked local produce, and chilled beverages. With the mountains as witness and the scent of wildflowers on the air, this is a moment of decadence, and joyful connection with nature. Custom menus available for dietary requirements.
