A Taste of the Helderberg with Ex-Animo

Within Stellenbosch, the Helderberg stands apart—not for its size, but for its precision. Shaped by its proximity to False Bay, this is where cooling ocean breezes temper the Cape sun, extending ripening and preserving the natural acidity that defines world-class wine. The result is rare balance: power and poise.

Often considered one of the most optimal climates in South Africa, the Helderberg produces some of the Cape’s most respected fine wine sources.

You’ve likely encountered wines from this region before—but this evening goes deeper. We’re stepping beyond the well-known names to showcase a new generation of smaller, quality-driven producers who are redefining what the Helderberg can be.

In this guided tasting, we’ll explore that quality across styles, moving through white, rosés, and reds that reflect both site and philosophy. The lineup includes The Foundry, Van Loggerenberg, Hogan, Scions of Sinai, and Yardstick Wines—producers united by a commitment to precision, restraint, and authenticity.

Expect an evening that unpacks why the Helderberg continues to define the upper echelon of Stellenbosch wine. As always food is included in your ticket price!
