On 13 July 2018, our Wine Estate celebrated our 333rd birthday with a special event that included a tree planting and an unveiling of a special Groot Constantia Pontac 1855!
Groot Constantia’s 333rd Birthday Celebrations
Our 333rd birthday was not just about the past but also looking toward the future. Trees were planted, with the help of Groot Constantia staff, invited media and guests. The tree planting symbolized our commitment to conservation for the next 333 years, and beyond.
Groot Constantia: The Best is yet to come
It all began 333 years ago. Groot Constantia is South Africa’s first wine farm. Now loved around the world. Celebrating family and friends: this is Groot Constantia. The best is yet to come.
