Meerendal Hospitality Academy

Description

Meerendal dates back to 1702 when Governor Willem Adriaan van der Stel granted the farm to Jan Meerland. Meerland’s widow, Maria had 60 000 vines growing on the farm. When the Starke Family bought the farm in 1929, only a small vineyard existed. However it displayed Meerendal ’s potential as a wine farm and consequently, some of the wheat fields were turned into vineyards in the early thirties. A consortium of South African businessmen bought Meerendal in February 2004 and their vision is to develop the farm into one of the top wine estates in South Africa.

David Higgs and his team joined the undertaking in managing all food operations on the farm, and The Higgs School of Good Cooking found a new home here as Meerendal Hospitality Academy, offering a Diploma in Professional Cookery and Culinary Arts.
