The Van Ryn’s Brandy Distillery lies in the heart of the Stellenbosch Valley on the banks of the Eerste River. The legendary brandy-making history dates to 1845 when Jan van Ryn arrived at the Cape. The Van Ryn Wine and Spirit company was established and with it a proud tradition of brandy excellence that remains un- paralleled in South Africa. The founder’s belief that the secret to creating a truly greatly brandy lies in its maturation, still is the cornerstone of the Van Ryn’s brandy-making tradition. The Van Ryn’s distillery boasts an impressive variety of copper potstills-one of which dates to more than 200 years. It is a living testament to the age-old art of crafting fine brandy and South African brandy culture.
