LYNX Collection
The Lynx Collection stands for innovation, diversity, and sustainability. It combines the modern with the traditional.
The well-being of our guests is our highest priority. We want to exceed the satisfaction of our guests through enthusiasm, appreciation, and personal commitment.
Our Team
Appreciation, value and high quality in everything we offer and do for you – that drives us every day, fills us with joy and also a little pride. The attentive approach with which we devote ourselves to all tasks in the vineyard, the cellar, the Guesthouse and the restaurant characterizes our cooperation in the winery.
Our winemaker Pierre with his local farm workers take care of all aspects of the wine production, from the wine in the vineyard to the wine in the bottle.
Our hospitality team ensures that all our guests in the restaurant, the tasting room and in both Guesthouses have an unforgettable stay
The Family Behind The Dream
“You need courage to break new ground, and you need passion, to make the plan succeed.”
When we, Manuel and Brigitte Konen, with our three daughters, Annabel, Antonia and Alicia, visited South Africa for the first time and ended up in Franschhoek, we were immediately captivated by the country and the people. Franschhoek is the culinary capital of South Africa and stands for excellent wines, fantastic food and a captivating landscape. Our passion has always been wine and good food. The dream of owning our own winery has been there for a long time… maybe one day! Our family motto “Live your dream” has now come true! With the Lynx Collection we have taken a bold step and made a dream come true.
Our Philosophy
We want to respect People and nature,
Preserve traditions
And still make history.
Our biggest goal and also our biggest challenge on the farm is to satisfy our guests while being sustainable and environmental protection.
To achieve that, everyone has to pull together; the owner, the employees and the guests alike.
As owner, we paid attention to energy-saving lighting and water-saving shower heads. We are self-sufficient and generate all our electricity from a photovoltaic system and the water we use is treated and reused.
We have set up beehives on our premises to contribute directly to species conservation and we water our lawns and flowers efficiently.
Our employees separate and recycle rubbish, dispose the leftovers professionally, and our kitchen team ensures that food is sourced regionally and seasonally.
And what can you do as a guest to protect the environment?
We would appreciate if you would only use water and electricity when and only as much as absolutely necessary, if you used towels and bath towels for longer and cancel room cleaning once in a while.
We respect all guests and staff alike, regardless of their origin, color or religion. It is important to us that we all pull together for a common and good future. Be part of it and help for a better world.
