Blessing of the harvest
It’s become our tradition to bless the harvest here at Vergenoegd Löw. To give gratitude for our beautiful vineyards and the fine fruit they deliver. To celebrate the harvest to come. And to rejoice in our team and our community – the very people who play an integral part in the unique expression of each vintage we make.
It’s customary to give our blessings in English, Afrikaans, and isiXhosa. And we invite the neighbours to join us. This year, our Blessing of the Harvest took place on Friday, 19 January, with our entire team in attendance. Along with other neighbours, we were thrilled and proud to include well-known winemaker Beyers Truter among the participants.
Our annual ceremony is an important way of honouring our heritage while paying tribute to the team of today.
As one, we symbolically emptied baskets of grapes into the press and to conclude, we raised our Cap Classique-filled glasses to the harvest, the farm, to each other and to all our supporters.
From far away, you could hear the clear pealing sounds as we rang the old werfklok (farmyard bell) to welcome vintage 2024.

Invaluable people, the essence of everything
Managing Vergenoegd Löw as a regenerative wine growing enterprise, demands many skills. Did you know our team includes Dexter cattle (to enrich the soil) and Indian runner ducks (who enjoy the snails). That’s apart f rom the many people, who nurture the vineyards, pick the grapes, make, package, market and distribute our wine.
We pride ourselves on our people-centred focus and hospitality. We welcome you to our tasting room, our two fine restaurants, and our spa.
You’ll find us here every day.
