The world of Waterford Estate

The winery has been in operation since 1998 and is now run by the Ord family. The name “Waterford” was created by combining the surname “Ord” and the majestic waterfalls that adorn the surrounding mountains. The fusion of the terms “WATERF” (waterfall) and “ORD” led to the naming of this unique estate.
