Ladismith Wine Cellar.

Ladismith Winery was founded in 1939 when 73 wine grape farmers came together to establish the distillery, as it was called. In the beginning, distilling wine had been kept on the farms till the fermentation process was finished. This was done in cement tubs and then taken to the cellar where the wine was distilled and sold to the KWV in the form of spirits. Today the cellar is divided in a distillery and winery. Our wines are being market under the name of Towerkop.

Architectural Heritage
A variety of architectural styles can still be seen in the old building of the town: from neo-Gothic to Victorian to the typical Ladismith style, square with round vents at the front. The town has a variety of churches, among which the exquisite Lutheran church and parsonage and the Dutch Reformed church designed by Otto Hager are the most prominent.

Ladismith History
Ladismith is situated in the Klein Karoo at the Foot of the Klein Swartberg mountain range. The majestic Towerkop, with it’s split peak looms above the town. Local legend has it that an angry witch, flying overhead, struck the peak with her wand because it obstructed her passage over the mountain, causing it to split into two!

The Dutch Reformed congregation was founded in 1851 an the town was established in 1852 on a section of a farm Ylandsvalley donated by Balthazer Klopper, named after Lady Juana Smith, the original Ladysmith was changed in 1879 to LADISMITH to prevent confusion to its namesake in NATAL.

It serves an extensive farming area with ideal climate for the production of quality fruits - Apricot, Peaces, Plums, Nectarines and Grapes. With two cheese factories and a winery.

Ladismtih, as with the Klein Karoo benefited from the ostrich feather boom at the turn of the previous centaury.
