A family affair, Marbrin was founded 20 years ago by Pieter Coetsee—who was told he’d never be able to grow olives in the Robertson Valley. Dreams sometimes do come true. The proof is in the sea of vigorous olive trees you’ll see fanning against the surrounding slopes of the Langeberg and Riviersonderend Mountains—and also in the multitude of awards this boutique farm is amassing. DON’T FORGET TO TRY CLIVE’S TAPENADE AND OTHER HANDMADE PRESERVES AND OIL-INFUSIONS.
