Some people spend Friday afternoon slaving away at their desks. Bohemians spend it nibbling cheese and savouring the sun-drenched w**es of the Swartland. 🌞 🧀
This Friday, swop your Excel spreadsheet for six Swartland beauties, trade your Teams meeting for a taste of heaven. Don’t overthink it: close your laptop, live a little and join us for a leisurely lunchtime tasting with AA Badenhorst! 🍷
Friday 28 August | 12h00 for 12h30. Tickets are as scarce as rain in the Swartland - DM us or call 079 793 0936 to book your spot. ☔️
If you don’t know the name, know this: in 2008, cousins Adi and Hein Badenhorst bought a run-down farm called Kalmoesfontein on the Paardeberg, its cellar silent since the 1930s. 🤐
They gave it an exuberant new voice and helped spark the revolution that turned the Swartland into one of the most talked-about w**e regions in South Africa. ✨ 🎶
Adi Badenhorst grew up at Groot Constantia, where his grandfather ran the estate for 46 years. 🍇
First w**e at thirteen. Harvests at Château Angélus. Nine years as w**emaker at Rustenberg. An illustrious beginning indeed. ✨
Ultimately , Adi traded the polish and sophistication of Stellenbosch for the rough and tumble of the Swartland. He chose to make his name amidst dust, granite and wheat fields - and many have since followed in his pioneering footsteps. 🦶🌾
Kalmoesfontein is a family farm in the fullest sense. Wife, mother, brothers, cousins, all stitched into it, a clan bound (in their own words) “by blood or w**e.” 🫶
Selma is pouring six absolute beauties on Friday:

The Badenhorsts revived their farm slowly and patiently. Tickets, however, need to be snapped up fast - book today! ⏳We have had several pre-bookings so space is as scarce as rain in the Swartland! ☔️
We hope to see you on Friday for this leisurely start to the weekend - let’s face it, we all need some Dutch courage ahead of the rugby on Saturday 😬 🏉
