World's Best Vineyards
Wine winning all the way!
Two local vineyards recently showcased why we are surely becoming one of the World's best wine regions.
Bengula Cove Wine Estate managed to grab the 53rd place and Creation Wines the 4th place at the World's Best Vineyards. This means that Creation Wines are the top vineyard in Africa.
Congratulations to you both!

This is to create awareness surrounding CANSA and to promote our upcoming “Cuppa For CANSA” a high tea fundraiser event.

Women's Month Sanitary Drive
For the month of August, we will be supporting our young sisters and their sanitary dignity.
We are partnering with the Mina Foundation, Emoji Movement, and Caledon Museum to host a workshop on the 10th of August at 15:00, to educate our high school and college-aged girls on menstrual health.
We will also be accepting donations of sanitary products and raise funds to purchase menstrual cups at R100 a piece during the month of August.
A menstrual cup can be worn for up to 12 hours and is easy to clean. It lasts for about 15 years, which is not just cost-effective, a long-term solution against period poverty, but also good for our planet.
Please support our campaign by donating.
Monetary donations can be paid to:
