Iona Wines is located in Elgin, a little over an hour’s drive east of Cape Town near the south coast. The winery is located in a fairly new wine district called Elgin. In the past, fruit was mainly grown there, apples not least. They still do that, but with more and more vineyards on the hills. Elgin has in recent years received a lot of attention as one of the districts in South Africa with a comparatively cool climate. Although the vineyards are close to the sea, they are located at a fairly high altitude, just over 400 meters above sea level.
