ABout De Tol

De Tol is a historic farm stall near Citrusdal, with views of the Piekenierskloof mountains and a history dating back to 1864. De Tol, probably the oldest farm stall on the N7, is now proudly owned by Bergendal, our family farm situated 8km further along the Paleisheuwel Road. It’s the perfect stop on the N7 for food, tea, wine and gifts, and a central hub on the famous Rooibos route.

Browse locally sourced goods at the De Tol Farm Deli and enjoy special wine tastings and pairings at the Piekenierskloof Wines Tasting Room.
