We offer accommodation on our farm in the luxurious self-catering Manor House, our Winemakers Cottage, and Incipio Suite.

Vondeling Wines

Vondeling, meaning ‘foundling’, lies on the slopes of the unspoilt and undiscovered Paardeberg mountain, approximately 45 minutes’ drive from Cape Town. It was granted to Olof Bergh in 1704, and a three-centuries-old winemaking tradition began. Today, an environmentally sensitive approach to farming and minimal intervention during the winemaking process ensure wine with a distinct fingerprint of origin. Vondeling’s flagship wines, Vondeling Babiana and Vondeling Monsonia, are named after rare species of fynbos that are endemic to the Paardeberg mountain, the home of Vondeling Wines.

Wolvenhoek Vineyards

Wolvenhoek Vineyards lies at the foot of the luscious green hill, the Groenberg, in Wellington. The family-owned farm is part of the Old Vine Project and boasts 55-35-year old vineyards of which we make easy-drinking and premium wines.
The Emerald Hill protects the vines from the wind that howls like a wolf through the mountains and creates a unique cool temperature in the hot Wellington area. It is a testament to the distinctive character of the Groenberg and the underrated capacity of Wellington old vines.

Perdeberg Wines

Situated at the foothills of the Paardeberg Mountain in Paarl, one of the finest wine-growing areas of the Cape, lies Perdeberg Cellar. The hallmark and most differentiating quality of Perdeberg wines is our predominant use of unirrigated vineyards, termed dry land vines. Overcoming difficult growing conditions, dry land vines yield small berries with concentrated flavour and colour which in turn create superior wines. The winery’s rich history dates back to 1941, when a visionary wine farmer named Jan Rossouw suggested the area’s farmers begin producing their own wine. Perdeberg adopted its distinguishing name from the scores of Cape Mountain zebras that once roamed the Paardeberg area, mistaken for wild horses by local inhabitants.

Niel Joubert Estate

The home of Niel Joubert Wines, is located on the slopes of the Simonsberg mountain, on the outskirts of Paarl in the Western Cape winelands. It is a sizable wine and fruit farm with breath-taking landscapes, five hills, and ten dams that are nourished by a natural mountain spring.

In addition to a large selection of grapes, there is enough water and variation in the soil to support the successful cultivation of apples, pears, peaches, plums, tangerines, lemons, and blueberries. The Joubert family, trained horticulturists and wine growers, has owned the farm since 1898 and has continued to administer it personally into the fifth generation.

Groot Constantia Wine Estate

It takes years to build a Legacy. Even Decades. Or sometimes Centuries.
Groot Constantia’s is testimony of how one man’s love for wine established South Africa’s first wine farm in 1685. Our wines are from rich African soil, crafted to perfection. Groot Constantia memories are part of literature and heritage and embodies the timeless endeavour to perfection. Our heritage stands for growth, life and beauty. It is alive and vibrant, like the vineyards we hold dear. It is in our hearts.

Morgenster Estate

Our family estate, Morgenster, lies in the heart of the Helderberg, on the foothills of the mountains where eagles carve through the sky and owls roost in trees close to the Manor House. It’s the setting of our Bertrand family story.
Long ago, an Italian man fell in love with South Africa and the Cape Winelands. In 1992, he retired from his textile career, moved to South Africa, and bought Morgenster – a farm with a rich history that dates back 300 years. That was Giulio Bertrand, our founder, father and grandfather.

Robertson Winery

From its very humble beginnings in 1852, the town of Robertson has always been filled with the most generous of people.

Dr William Robertson, the Scottish minister whom the town is named after, the hard-working community that tends to the wine farms and everyone else here welcomes you with arms outstretched and warm handshakes.

With the town a little more grown up by 1941, its stone church built by the community and serviced by missionaries, was no longer in use. It made the perfect place to establish Robertson Winery and was converted for winemaking and cellaring operations, involving everyone from farmers to bottlers in creating wines to share with the world.

Lutzville Vineyards

Lutzville Vineyards, home of the Classic Lutzville, the Diamond and Francois Le Vaillant Collections. The secret behind the rich character, approachable style, juicy fruit and elegant structure of our wines lies in our unique location on the West Coast of South Africa. Fresh Atlantic morning breezes roll in and cool down the vineyards. The hot sunny days and crisp evenings result in large temperature differences between day and night. Matched with our ideal soils, these micro climates happily conspire to create the best growing conditions for our grapes – the perfect ingredients for our outstanding South African wines.

Zorgvliet Wines

Our warm and welcoming Country Lodge offers guests an opportunity to truly experience the unique personality of the Stellenbosch winelands. Zorgvliet with it’s panoramic views of the mountains is the ideal location for the wedding of your dreams.

DGB

Douglas Green is a partner in the international Fairtrade programme (FLO), a worldwide initiative encouraging Third World producers of wine and other agricultural products to commit to improving the lives of people involved at all levels of the production process.

DGB has always been mindful of the impact of our wine and spirit production, distribution and exports, with a track record of sound environmental practices and accreditations. A comprehensive Carbon Footprint audit helped formalise DGB’s greening project. This has provided the foundation for several reduction initiatives to minimise our footprint across our operations.

Febvre Wines

Febvre has been at the forefront of the Irish wine trade for over 50 years and the quest for quality and integrity has never waned. Always in search of innovation, be it in the unparalled success of small format bottles, ( the ubiquitous ‘quarter bottle’), screwcaps, wines by the glass and the equipment to keep them fresh, the 50cl Wine for 2 Range or the long-life MLP (multi-layer PET) bottles, Febvre are never afraid to lead the way. At the other end of the spectrum, we are partnered with some of the most illustrious and traditional names in the wine world and our portfolio proudly carry the names of some of the top wineries and winemakers in the world.

Lubanzi Wine

We started in 2014, as two friends searching for an opportunity to make a difference in the world.

In 2014, while living in South Africa as exchange students, we set off on a 20 hour bus ride along South Africa's southern coast en route to the wild coast, a remote part of the country - famously the birthplace of nelson mandela - for a week long backpacking expedition. On our second day, a wandering dog the locals called ‘LUBANZI' began following us on our adventure. He stuck with us throughout our journey - for 6 days & 100 miles - until he disappeared in the middle of the night before our final morning. There's some poetic justice in that.

Classic Drinks

It’s been nearly two decades since we began our journey as Classic Drinks – driven by a desire to pair great wine with top-class service for our customers.

And while so much has changed since then, we are still dedicated to supporting our customers in the hospitality sector whose passion for great service is recognised throughout the world.

We do this through our incredible curated range of drinks – one that’s made up of more than 700 wines and 1,200 spirits, beers and ciders, and is growing all the time.

Boekenhoutskloof & Reyneke

Boekenhoutskloof was established in 1776. Located in the furthest corner of the beautiful Franschhoek valley, the farm’s name means “ravine of the Boekenhout” (pronounced Book-n-Howed). Boekenhout is an indigenous Cape Beech tree greatly prized for furniture making.

In 1993 the farm and homestead was bought and restored and a new vineyard planting programme was established that now includes Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Grenache, Semillon and Viognier.

Koni Wines

Koni Maliehe, born in Soweto, Rockville but partly raised by her loving grandparents in the Eastern Cape before settling in Cape Town has spent most of her career in the Financial Services sector as Head of Training & People Management. She resigned to start a wine business in 2015.

“I observed that each time there is a bottle of wine open, there are people and stories. We need to turn those moments into engaging, fruitful conversation about our heritage as citizens of South Africa.” – Koni
