Val de Vie

The idea of “Val de Vie” started almost 30 years ago when the visionary Martin Venter had a vivid dream of a place in the winelands his family could call home. The story behind "Val De Vie" is rather inspirational - starting with but only a figment of the imagination of visionary Martin Venter, who set out to make a home for his family in the Winelands region. For a full decade the perfect location was searched for by Mr.Venter and one day in 2001 while flying over the Paarl-Franschoek Valley he spotted the perfect location alongside the Berg River - at the time it was a neglected wine farm pioneered by Abraham Andries Le Roux way back in 1783. In this moment he knew that THIS would become the "Valley of Life" where families beyond his own would be able to come and life life to the fullest extent amongst the natural beauty that the Winelands region has to offer. Overcoming many development problems, "Va de Vie" now sits at its prime as a safe family-friendly estate with a full suite of recreational and living facilities.
