A carefully chosen bottle of wine makes for a perfect, affordable gift for a wine-loving colleague, friend or family member this festive season. For someone extra special you can always pair it with beautiful wine glasses, a wine decanter, or decadent edible treats.
A warm smile greets me as I walk towards the estate workshop. I’m here to sit down with Daniel Thana to find out what a typical day in his shoes is like at Groot Constantia – his place of work for nearly three decades!
Groot Constantia’s Gouverneurs Reserve White 2017 achieved an impressive 91 points in the seventh annual Sauv-Sem Blend/Wooded Sauvignon Blanc Report produced by Winemag.co.za, and was awarded a certificate as a Top Performer.
Platter’s South African Wine Guide has awarded Groot Constantia’s Gouverneurs Reserve White 2017 a five star rating in the 2020 edition of this popular guide – annually one of the most eagerly anticipated listings of top-performing wines.

Wine lovers don’t need a special reason to enjoy a glass of their favourite tipple, but the 7th of November does offer an occasion to open a bottle of Groot Constantia’s award winning Merlot as it is International Merlot Day – a day to celebrate this amazing grape.
The 10th to the 16th of October is Drink Local Wine Week – a time when South Africans are encouraged to support their local wine estates and celebrate the abundance of fabulous wines produced in the country. What better way to toast Drink Local Wine Week and pay homage to our local wines than by visiting Groot Constantia.
September is Heritage Month – culminating with Heritage Day on the 24th – and a time for South Africans to celebrate their roots. South Africans love our food, and our country is rich with a variety of cultures – all with their own special meals that embody their heritage. Whether it is the evocative smells of a boerewors braai or shisa nyama fire, a delicious curry, pap with chakalaka, a spicy bobotie, snoek pate with roosterkoek – the list of traditional South African dishes is extensive.
Kindly be advised that all picnic baskets must be reserved at least 24 hours in advance from either Jonkershuis or Simons Restaurant. Additionally, guests are not permitted to bring their own picnic baskets or food onto the estate.
Kind Regards,
The Groot Constantia Team
