Backsberg is South Africa's first carbon neutral wine estate. In addition to being a socially responsible vineyard, the expansive estate is also home to a restaurant, culinary academy, glassblowing studio and educational Earth Centre. Informal tastings are held in their musty cellar-turned- saleroom and include five wines as well as a sampling of Backsberg's award-winning Sydney Back brandy. Formal guided tastings and cellar tours must be booked in advance.
