About Our Company
Proudly Grown. Kenya's Finest Kenyan Wine.
It began with a dream and a view a solitary house overlooking the rolling hills of Buuri, and a group of people who believed Kenya was ready for a wine of its own.
They were not winemakers by trade. They were believers united by a shared conviction that the land beneath their feet was capable of something remarkable.
Together, they made a quiet decision: to farm with care, to vinify with patience, and to let the soil speak for itself.
What followed was not just the birth of a wine, but the beginning of a Kenyan story, one rooted in pride, shaped by the highlands, and poured with love into every bottle of La Sambara.
Experiences
Immerse in Kenya's Wine Story with Every Sip
The drive to La Sambara is an experience before the experience begins, winding highland roads, open skies, and the slow, beautiful sense that you are leaving the ordinary world behind.
Arrive at the estate, walk the vineyard, taste the wine, and if the sky is clear, watch the sun set over the rooftop as Mount Kenya holds the horizon. This is La Sambara. There is nothing quite like it.
From the Ground Up
Two Kenyan Wines. One Story.
01
Organic Roots
Grown in Kenyan Soil
Our vines did not begin here, but they belong here now. Originally sourced from France, home to some of the world’s most celebrated winemaking traditions, these varietals were chosen for their depth of character and their ability to produce grapes of exceptional quality. What nobody could have fully anticipated was just how perfectly they would take to Kenyan soil.
Nourished by the rich earth of Buuri, warmed by highland sun, and sustained by the waters of Meru, Samburu and Isiolo, the vines adapted with a quiet confidence that surprised even the most seasoned among us. So well, in fact, that our very first harvest arrived two full years ahead of expectation, the land’s own way of saying it was ready. It has been flourishing ever since.
02
Kenyan Craftsmanship
Kenyan Wine, Crafted by Kenyan Hands
Born of Kenyan soil and brought to life by skilled Kenyan hands, La Sambara is a celebration of Kenyan craftsmanship at its finest. From the careful harvest of every Chenin Blanc and Shiraz grape to the final pour in your glass, each step is guided by the passion, experience and dedication of Kenyan artisans.
We believe that where a wine is made and by whom matters just as much as how it tastes. And in every bottle, you’ll taste not just quality, but the spirit, heritage and excellence of Kenya itself.
03
The Varieties
Chenin Blanc & Shiraz
Two expressions of Kenyan wine at its finest. Our Chenin Blanc crisp, fruit-forward, and alive with the brightness of the highland air. Our Shiraz full-bodied, warm, and rich with the character of Buuri’s volcanic earth. Each bottle a true reflection of the land, the season, and the hands that made it.
