This weekend we hosted a lovely wet winter wedding.
Congratulations to Neil and Nadine, we are so happy that you had such a blast.
The couple got married in front of the cellar, ate and celebrated on the stoep (made cost by curtains and heaters) and danced the night away under the tent covered dance floor.

We had some professional photographs taken of our newly renovated accommodation options. Cause our iPhone pics just weren’t doing it any justice.
To find out more about these options; click here. And note that if you book directly with Semma we’ll make sure there is a bottle of house wine in the fridge when you arrive…

Last week we had our friend Maree and her camera on the farm to shoot some library images for us (it had been five years since we last did it, and a LOT changes on Kalmoesfontein in five years…)
Here is just a sneak peak for your enjoyment. It is nice to see the evolution through the lens of a proper camera (and not an #iphone with #instagram filters!)
We also shot some photos for new fact sheets for the Badenhorst, Secateurs and single vineyard ranges. Watch this space, we’ll upload them to the site when ready and if you are in the trade, lekker things are on their way – for you and your customers to get a sense of where our wines come from.

We love this story from the latest issue of Wine Enthusiast. Written by Lauren Buzzeo, photographed by Maree Louw (on Kalmoesfontein) and styled by Cornelia Badenhorst, the article is a beautiful feature of the original revolutionaries – Eben Sadie ‘The Virtuoso’, Callie Louw ‘The Farmer’, Chris and Andrea Mullineux ‘The Dynamic Duo’ and Adi ‘The Personality’.

Pictures popped up this week of Lauren and Gene’s wedding on the farm in December. Just stunning!

Maree once again took some stunning pictures at the Swartland Revolution this year. Here are a few of our favourites, lots more on her blog.
There is a nice summery of the weekend on The Swartland Revolution’s site. Have a look.
Meanwhile, our Family Red 2009 is number 93 on Wine Spectator’s Top 100 wines for 2013. Not too shabby…
Every bottle is a bomb – diving mask for protection. Methode Rural 2013 off to be diffused or disgorged!

We donated a TV to the Grade R class at the Ann Pienaar school (on the corner as you turn into Kalmoesfontein) to keep the kids entertained on rainy winter days.
