No trip to the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley would be complete without a visit to the vineyards of Creation Wines. Enjoy one of the estate’s unusual wine-and-food pairings, or choose something from the tantalising menu that changes weekly.
Early-risers might be interested in the daily 10am brunch pairing (five courses paired with five wines), or there’s a six-course Story of Creation pairing with eight estate wines; small-plates-and-wine pairing; wine-and-chocolate pairing; a nonalcoholic tea pairing; and even a surprise pairing for children.
Sit on the terrace on a sunny day (or inside if it’s chilly) and drink in the epic views of the vineyards over the farm dam and the towering Babylon Toren Mountain, while the little ones play on the lawn below.
Bring your bikes and hiking shoes, as a network of scenic trails runs through the farm.
