Neuras Wine & Wildlife Estate
Nestled in the foothills of the majestic Naukluft Mountains, this unique winery, one of the world’s driest, clings to the edge of the Namib Desert. Fresh-water fountains and towering palm trees complete this romantic oasis where truly Namibian wines are produced.
A variety of activities, tailored to showcase the rugged terrain, vineyards, superlative desert sunsets, freshwater springs and cheetahs. It allows visitors to taste not only the hand-crafted, organic products and wines but also the crucial conservation work of the N/a’an ku sê Foundation.
And located just 80km from Sossusvlei, one of Namibia’s most visited landmarks, Neuras makes for the perfect overnight stop.
