Lanzerac 360° Panoramic Virtual Tour

Lanzerac like you’ve never seen it before

Lanzerac recently launched the very first High Definition 360˚ Panoramic Virtual Tour of any hotel in South Africa. It was produced through a long process with partners Gecko Digital Global, and the end result is nothing short of spectacular.

“After 330 years you would think that we would know every (is it not ‘every hook, nook and cranny’) nook and cranny of this exquisite Estate,” says General Manager, Emile Langenhoven, “but once you immerse yourself in this High Definition 360˚ Panoramic Virtual Tour, which includes some of the most breathtaking drone footage ever captured of the Jonkershoek Valley, you find yourself experiencing Lanzerac in a whole new light.”

Since its 330-year celebrations last year, Lanzerac has been working hard to make good on their promise that

“the best is yet to come”. One of those projects has been the making of the High Definition 360˚ Panoramic Virtual Tour which was launched just in time for their 331st birthday celebrations on 28 February 2023.

The making of this ‘first’ was a long and detailed process which included meticulous planning, followed by many hours of filming and extensive editing. It proved to be an exciting and creative journey too. The Gecko Digital Global producers left no stone unturned in capturing Lanzerac in the most beautiful way, including teetering off a ladder in the middle of the swimming pool to get the shot they were after!

The Lanzerac 360˚Showcase allows first time travel partners and guests alike to experience a taste of what they are signing up for in order to allay any doubts and amp up the anticipation levels. And, of course, it serves as a beautiful digital souvenir for past guests who will always have their memories, and now, a world-class way to share them with family and friends.

Lanzerac celebrates 330 years

330 is a big number that calls for a big celebration…

On Saturday 24th September we celebrated 330 years of Lanzerac excellence in Stellenbosch and what a celebration it was! The estate cellar was alive with laughter & music as those that came together reflected and celebrated this magnificent journey of one of the original and oldest Western Cape wine estates. Against the spectacular backdrop of the wine cellar itself, a dramatic and opulent table was set…

A song was written & composed especially by Lizanne and The Stellenborsch City Orchestra and peformed on the night. Toasts were made as we can see here in a few images of the team’s special evening.

Lanzerac is the perfect blend of modern convenience and traditional, relaxed luxury. A destination within itself and one of the original wine estates in not only Stellenbosch but the Cape.

Steeped in history with a variety of dining options from fine dining to a charming deli cafe selling estate wines and locally produced fair. Wine tours and tasting are a must, taking place daily and for those that have over indulged, a comprehensive spa, gym and 'Vitality' cafe boast incredible vistas over the vineyards and mountains beyond - pedicure and champagne with a view anyone? We haven't even mentioned the range of activities, sights and experiences that await you beyond the gates... picnics, mountain biking, hiking, festivals and concerts.

A complete rebuild has taken place since a major fire devastated the original estate and hotel in 2017. So many know the Lanzerac of old, but wait until you learn about what awaits guests today!

One of only 7 properties in the Western Cape to have, last week, been awarded the new 5-star Premium status by the Tourism Grading Council of South Africa and we can see why.
