Springboks legend Pieter-Steph du Toit is not only a record World Rugby Player of the Year and a two-time Rugby World Cup winner, but also a star who grew up on a family farm in the Western Cape.

The farm that shaped du Toit, affectionately known as PTSD among Springboks fans, is called Kloovenburg Wine & Olive Estate. It is a stunning family-owned estate in the Riebeek Valley in the Western Cape. The property sits near the slopes of Kasteelberg mountain and has become famous not only for its wine and olive production, but also for its scenic beauty and rich family history.

According to the farm’s website, the du Toit family took over the estate in 1956, and it has remained in the family ever since. It was later expanded by the Springboks star’s father into one of the Swartland region’s respected wine and olive destinations. The estate features vineyards, olive groves, hiking trails, tastings and panoramic mountain views.

One of the farm’s standout features is the origin of the “Eight Feet” wine brand. The name comes from Pieter-Steph and his three brothers, Johan, Anton and Daniël, whose “eight feet” stomped grapes as children while helping their father in the cellar.

The estate also offers a luxurious yet understated atmosphere rather than flashy celebrity wealth. Visitors often describe it as peaceful, scenic and deeply rooted in family culture. There are wine tastings, olive tastings, mountain trails and a deck overlooking the valley. The tasting room reportedly contains photographs of the du Toit family and rugby memorabilia related to Pieter-Steph’s career.
