The combination of the sea and the mountains enables the Stellenbosch wine region to produce exceptional, world-class wines that regularly win awards. The vineyards leaning up against the slopes of Helshoogte mountain give the fruit its rich intensity, making Delaire Graff’s delicious vintages some of the most prestigious in the southern hemisphere. Head for the intimate Wine Lounge to sample the wine and enjoy views of the vines from the terrace in summer.

“My philosophy is centred on an all sensory dining experience. Beautifully balanced Asian flavours that are combined with exquisite presentation and served within an unrivalled setting. A strong focus is sourcing the finest local ingredients that are fresh and seasonal.”

“Experience a contemporary landscape conceived out of a need to move away from the traditional “vines and roses”. We wanted to be daring and different, to create a haven for the senses and an escape for the soul. The result is an eclectic mix of indigenous and naturalised exotic plants within an innovative design, inspired by the term "Genius Loci" which means ‘the Spirit of the place’. Water features, Cape Dutch-inspired rills and reflective pools add a sense of peace and tranquillity to the dramatic setting. In bloom year round, this garden invites you to take leisurely walks along secluded pathways, discover exquisite sculptures and admire the vistas through the trees and views over Stellenbosch to Cape Town.”

A Botanical Wonder

“Take time to discover a collection at home in the landscape. Delaire Graff Estate is a world-class art destination in the Stellenbosch Valley. Each piece of art that adorns the walls and gardens has been personally handpicked by owner Laurence Graff from a much-treasured personal collection. Gaze upon works by renowned local artists such as Anton and Lionel Smit, Deborah Bell, Dylan Lewis, Cecil Skotnes, Kendell Geers, Ndikhumbule Ngqinambi and William Kentridge. The collection includes a number of pieces which speak to the nature of ‘the self’ exploring memory and heritage, South Africa’s political history as well as the deeply personal connection between artist and experience. Vibrant paintings and dramatic sculptures are at home within the contemporary architecture and sculpted gardens creating a unique artistic experience.”

Spa treatments meet terroir

Understanding South Africa, its history and the art which has accompanied its ongoing convulsions takes a little time, but perhaps the most important thing is to have a starting point. D'Ellerman House to Delaire Graff Estate including AtholPlace, Mr. Tripper makes us travel with the thread of art.

South Africa : art with subject

Wild or manicured lawns, floral fragrances or the scent of freshly-cut grass, edged with flowers or dotted with shady gazebos. No matter where in the world, a garden is an invitation to a journey within a journey, an opportunity to breathe and become one with nature.
