Oak Valley, planted with over 4000 oak trees, giving it the name, also has almost 500 hectares of pristine mountain fynbos and was the 7th accredited member of the Biodiversity and Wine Initiative. The orchards, apple and pear, the vines, cut flowers and cattle pastures make for a beautiful picture.
Oak Valley, presently has a highly acclaimed Platter 4 ½ Star Sauvignon Blanc on the market together with the Platter 4 star Oak Valley Blend and a Platter 4 ½ star barrel-fermented Chardonnay to follow in mid-2006; a Pinot Noir is being made in limited quantities with the 2005 vintage being awarded 4 stars in Platter.
In 1978, Oak Valley started the cut flower division which has grown to become the largest production unit and wholesaler of fresh cut flowers in the Western Cape. There are over 16 hectares of greenhouses, shade houses and open fields in production, including the first fully imported automated climate controlled Dutch glasshouses in South Africa.
