About
In the heart of the Elgin Valley, nestled between vineyard rows, orchards of apples and pears with an amphitheatre of the Kogelberg and Hottentots Holland mountain ranges, lies the home of Elgin Vintners on the Elgin Orchards farm which dates back to 1890. The farm has a deep connection with and understanding of its vineyards and terroir. Meticulous care is taken of the vineyards which produce well-balanced grapes packed with flavour. This process takes a whole season and their role as vintners is to capture this flavour in every glass.

Ooh, shiny!
Remember that scene in Aladdin where his pet monkey and compadre, Abu, touches one of the forbidden gems in the Cave of Wonders, and suddenly all of that gold and treasure starts melting and the whole place comes crumbling down?
Talk about dramatic! Amidst all of that theatrical music and a magic carpet flight, it was hard not to think 'dang, what a waste of all that precious treasure!' As we grew up, we came to realise that a cave full of mystical gems and piles of gold probably doesn't exist - and if it does, we're too tired to look for it.
Be that as it may, we also come to appreciate the treasure and beauty in other things, like a shiny new set of cutlery, in various colours and tints, mind you. Kind of like our deal from Jane Becker. Now you can dine happily ever after!
