SUMMARY:Tastes of Our Valleys 2026 at The Cellars-Hohenort
DESCRIPTION:Wine lovers\, consider this your invitation to spend an afternoon sipping your way through some of South Africa’s most distinctive wine regions. On Saturday\, 14 November 2026\, The Cellars-Hohenort Hotel & Spa in Constantia\, Cape Town\, will host Tastes of Our Valleys – an elegant garden gathering celebrating the wines\, landscapes and people behind three of the country’s celebrated wine destinations. \nFollowing the success of its inaugural event in 2025\, this year’s edition expands beyond the Constantia Valley to bring together ten wine producers from Constantia\, the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley near Hermanus\, and Plettenberg Bay on the Garden Route. The three regions each have a special connection to The Liz McGrath Collection\, which also includes The Marine in Hermanus and The Plettenberg in Plettenberg Bay. \nA Taste of Three Distinctive Wine Regions\nSet within the beautiful gardens of The Cellars-Hohenort\, the event offers an opportunity to explore the diversity of South African wine in one setting\, meeting the producers and discovering what makes each region unique. \nConstantia Valley will be represented by six estates: Eagles’ Nest\, Constantia Glen\, Groot Constantia\, Steenberg\, Buitenverwachting and Beau Constantia. With its long winemaking heritage and varied expressions of Sauvignon Blanc\, Chardonnay and Bordeaux-style varieties\, Constantia remains an important part of the Cape’s wine story. \nSUBSCRIBE TO THE SUITCASE & CHARDONNAY NEWSLETTER \nFrom the cool-climate Hemel-en-Aarde Valley\, near Hermanus\, Ataraxia and Creation will showcase wines shaped by the region’s maritime conditions. Particularly celebrated for Chardonnay and Pinot Noir\, the valley offers wines known for their freshness\, elegance and sense of place. \nCompleting the line-up is Plettenberg Bay\, represented by Newstead and Kay & Monty. With its coastal setting and emerging wine culture\, the region offers a different perspective on South African winemaking\, shaped by the influence of the nearby Indian Ocean. \nSeasonal Bites in the Garden\nNaturally\, good wine calls for something delicious to accompany it. The Conservatory restaurant’s chefs will prepare a selection of fresh\, seasonal bites designed to complement the wines and showcase the flavours of the season. \nGuests can move between participating producers at their own pace\, tasting different wines\, discovering new favourites and enjoying the relaxed atmosphere of the estate’s gardens. More than a traditional wine tasting\, Tastes of Our Valleys brings together wine\, food\, hospitality and a sense of place in one considered Cape Winelands experience. \nEvent Details: Tastes of Our Valleys 2026\nDate: Saturday\, 14 November 2026 \nVenue: The Cellars-Hohenort Hotel & Spa\, Constantia\, Cape Town \nTicket price: R495 per person \nTasting sessions: \n\nMorning session: 11:00–13:30\nAfternoon session: 14:00–16:00\n\nYour ticket includes: A tasting glass\, a selection of wines from the participating estates and seasonal bites prepared by The Conservatory’s chefs. \nTickets are limited\, so advance booking is recommended.
