Dating back to the 17th century, Constantia Uitsig is the youngest of the Constantia Valley’s historic wine farms. Having fallen into disrepair, it was restored to its former glory in 1988 by David and Marlene McCay, who were instrumental in the reintroduction of its vines and the establishment of three restaurants and a hotel. In April 2005, the property was acquired by a newly formed company, Constantia Uitsig Wine Estate (Pty) Limited, and the operational assets by Constantia Uitsig Holdings (Pty) Limited.
