Nederburg's Candlelight Conversations are for the wine lovers who want something they can't find anywhere else.

Hosted inside the historic Manor House, this dinner series brings guests around the table with the Nederburg winemaking team for an evening of very special bottles, rare releases and wines that are not easily found outside the cellar. It's an experience to taste (and dig) deeper into Nederburg's story

The evening includes:

- Cap Classique and canapés
- Three-course dinner
- Incredible selection of wines

Some are chosen for their age, some for their place in the range and all of them for the conversation they bring to the table.

If you love wine and experiences that feel excitingly different, this is one to book.

The last date for Candelight Conversations is Thursday, 27 August.

R995 per person.

Bookings via Dineplan are essential.

A mother is often the unseen strength behind a community. She is the one carrying families through impossible seasons while still making others feel welcomed and cared for. The one who keeps showing up, even in exhaustion. The one whose love becomes the foundation people build their lives on.

Long before we understand the meaning of community, many of us experience it first through a mother. Through her sacrifice. Her resilience. Her presence. Through the quiet way she holds everything together while asking for so little in return.

Because communities are not built by places alone. They are built by people who choose compassion, connection, and care, day after day, even when no one sees the weight they carry.

Today we honour the mothers whose impact reaches far beyond their own homes. The women whose strength, love, and presence shape the heart of entire communities.

Happy Mother’s Day from Winelands Community.
