Its proud history joins with a dynamic new vision producing a connoisseur among South African brands which has become a well-recognized icon with a trademark of true style and sophistication. Apart from being a trendy venue for local and international events, the Estate embraces its natural charm - yielding an array of organic produce from honey to cheese and exquisite wines.
In 2011 Lourensford upgraded its venue and rebranded it as Laurent. The newly renovated Laurent is an architectural masterpiece which stands royally overlooking the rolling lawns of Lourensford's Polo Fields and extending its view from the majestic mountains to the nearby ocean. This can aptly be named the best of both worlds, and sets the scene to be a perfect backdrop for any exceptional occasion. A beautiful setting paves the way to a beautiful function, and you'll find this to be true when you set foot on the glorious Estate where Cape Dutch grandeur combines with sleek and modern architecture.
Laurent presents a clean, yet elaborate canvas, complete with detailed crystal chandeliers and a veranda that overlooks the entire Estate. The entrance boasts with magnificent fountains with sculptures designed and created especially for the new venue and the Wiese family by the well-known landscape artist Strijdom van der Merwe.
