What does "We Show Up" actually mean?
It means being out here when the temperature is in the single digits, making the vital pruning cuts that will define the 2027 harvest.

It’s not glamorous. But it’s the foundation of everything we do.

To the dads, the granddads, the mentors, and the men who show up for us: Happy Father’s Day.

Today is about celebrating the quiet strength and the loud laughs.

A quick heads-up to all our visitors!

To give our legendary hospitality team a well-deserved rest, Zoetendal Vineyards will be taking our annual winter break from Sunday, 12 July (after closing). We’ll be officially reopening on Wednesday, 5 August. While the tasting room pauses, the work continues in the freezing vineyards and cellar to ensure our upcoming vintages are exceptional.

You still have a few weeks to pop in and stock up before we close! But don't panic if you run dry while our doors are shut—our wines will continue to be available from our online shop and your local fine wine purveyor.

Stay warm, and let's share a glass soon.

This is not a drill. Father’s Day is on Sunday. If you haven't bought a gift or booked a table for lunch yet, you are officially living dangerously. We just have a few tables left for Sunday lunch. Or, pop in before Sunday to buy him a bottle of something special.

Short weeks always feel like the longest weeks.

If Wednesday is hitting you hard, we prescribe a change of scenery. We are back open. The coffee is hot, the wine is better, and the Wi-Fi works if you really must answer that email.

Happy Youth Day, South Africa. 🇿🇦

As we honour the courage of the past, we look firmly at the future. Through our work with local youth, we see the incredible potential of the next generation every single day. The future of this country is bright. We show up for them.

The official certificate has arrived, and we finally get to hang it on the wall.

For us, this piece of paper is a direct reflection of our "We Show Up" ethos. It’s for the freezing early mornings, the muddy boots, and the relentless attention to detail from our winemaking team. When you consistently show up for the craft, it shows up in the glass - and it’s incredibly rewarding when the judges agree.

Excellence means nothing if you don't use it to open doors for the people coming up behind you.

We are incredibly proud to partner with the University of Pretoria for an exclusive alumni wine-tasting and gourmet dining evening in support of the campaign.

Hosted by UP Vice-Chancellor & Principal Professor Francis Petersen alongside alumnus Colin Tshivhase, this is more than just an elegant night out. We’re gathering with a massive purpose: raising vital funds to help students clear historic debt so they can finally receive their graduation certificates.

Our team will be there with our boutique Elim wines, showing up for the finer things in life and for our future leaders.

Seats are strictly limited, so don't wait until the last minute to book your spot. Come celebrate alumni excellence, and let’s make a real, lasting impact together.

When we launched the "We Show Up" project, we made a promise that this wouldn't just be about making premium wine. It’s about being intentional with our presence and investing in South Africa's future talent.

This week, we’re putting action behind those words.

The interns from COOKtastic Hub have officially arrived at Zoetendal. Over the coming weeks, they’ll be fully immersed in the estate, seeing firsthand what it takes to operate on a world-class level.

Welcome to the team, guys. Let's get to work.
