The Company Waterford Wines (Pty) Ltd was formed by the acquisition of 120Ha of prime Stellenbosch vineyard land by Jeremy and Leigh Ord in April of 1998. Winemaker, Kevin Arnold, a shareholder of the company, and his wife Heather identified the property and planned the building of a new winery.

The vision of Waterford was to create a unique wine experience, and build a winery that would ultimately offer a limited range of world class wines but also capture and reflect the intrinsic passion of its owners. The winery created from quarried local bedrock and styled in the warm terracotta tones of classic Bordeaux chateaus of France, is built around a magnificent courtyard. In the centre of the courtyard lies the Waterford fountain which is the symbol of the Estate and central to the Waterford philosophy - this is what we call "The Waterford Way". This philosophy encompasses more than just the farm and its wines, it is a place where life and family are celebrated and cherished, while prosperity and abundance are honoured.

Every visitor to the farm is made to feel like a guest and a part of the Waterford Way, and those who visit are drawn back often not only by the sumptuous wines, but to the heart and soul of Waterford.
