Besides Polo

Lessons and chukkas are usually held in the mornings and late afternoons, allowing plenty of time during the day to enjoy a variety of local attractions. If your family and guests don’t play polo, they can enjoy riding lessons, outrides, wine tasting or just sit back and enjoy the magnificent view from our polo pavilion and The Polo Club lounge.

Golfing enthusiasts too, are spoilt for choice. The famous Jack Nicklaus Signature championship golf course at Pearl Valley and the Boschenmeer Golf Course are right on our doorstep.

And there is no need to rush back to the city. Rather enjoy some country living and stay overnight in the breathtaking winelands. There is an incredible selection of accommodation in the area – ranging from cosy B&B’s on local farms, to five star luxury in either Franschhoek or nearby Paarl. Franschhoek is synonymous with good food and wine so incorporate a gastronomic treat at one of the award-winning restaurants into your trip to Val de Vie.

Experience the thrill of polo, fine wines, world-class facilities and warm hospitality - all in a breathtaking setting… Val de Vie indulges all your senses.

Only 40 minutes from Cape Town, Val de Vie is the chosen venue for the BMW International Polo Series and offers the ideal polo destination for both the business and leisure traveller.

Whether you’re looking for an adrenaline-packed chukka, a leisurely ride through the vineyards or the ultimate Corporate Hospitality venue, Val de Vie is in a class of its own.

We also offer livery and schooling in all equestrian disciplines providing all horse lovers with the opportunity to enjoy world-class facilities and expert care, in a stunning location.

“ One of the most outstanding places to play, learn more and enjoy polo at all levels ” Jason Drew, Tulbagh
