The third generation, Lourens Jonker, completed his degree in viniculture and undertook extensive study tours of the wine lands of Europe and California in 1962 before settling down on the farm Weltevrede. After the death of his father in 1969, Lourens took over the 65-ha farm. He subsequently purchased neighboring farms Muscadel (1969), River’s Edge (1981), and Sonop (1999). Today all the farms are consolidated as a 160-hectare estate.
Lourens is one of the pioneering figures of the South African wine industry establishing a legacy as chairman of the KWV and serving on several industry bodies. He also served on boards of companies outside the wine industry, like ABSA and Naspers. He received the National Farmer of the Year Award for South Africa from the Agricultural Writer’s Association of South Africa in 1996. Lourens stepped back recently to leave the estate in the hands of his son, Philip. He now enjoys a more relaxed lifestyle.

We absolutely loved the experience!! It was so unique and honestly captivating is the best word to describe it. It was my second time, I've went with a group of girlfriends two weeks before and just had to go back with my husband and biggest client and his wife, it is a must do experience. We've also had the priviledge of meeting Phillip Jonker before our tour, what an amazing person with a giving back to society kind of life style.

We had a lovely time making our own cap classique. The lady who took us through the experience was amazing, she carefully explained every step of the process and helped us get some videos in the process. As someone who lives out of town, I hope Weltevrede will consider doing a pop up in Joburg so we can make more custom label MCCs and go through the wonderful experience again
