Twee Jonge Gezellen (TJ) is a farm, winery and vineyard in the pioneer district of Tulbagh in the Western Cape, South Africa. Translated from Dutch, the name means Two Young Bachelors.[1] The farm was started by two young bachelor cousins in 1710. Locals referred to the farm as "the place where the two young bachelors stay," and the name stuck.[1] In September, 2011 the farm was placed under provisional liquidation after their Land Bank loan could not be repaid.[2]

Vinimark bought the operation in 2012.[3]
