WHAT MAKES CREATION SPECIAL

World-Class Recognition

As the 3rd Best Vineyard in the World and Number 1 in Africa, we strive to deliver an experience that lives up to this remarkable distinction. Our place among the world’s best vineyards reflects our dedication to excellence in every aspect of what we do.

‘What Grows Together Goes Together’

We embody this philosophy by foraging indigenous herbs and utilising estate-produced honey, olive oil and spring water, as well as wines. An impressive 80% of our other ingredients come from within an 80-kilometre radius, creating authentic expressions of the Hemel-en-Aarde terroir.

Wine and Wellness Philosophy

Our pioneering approach highlights the synergy between moderate wine consumption and nutrient-rich, anti-inflammatory foods. Our signature anti-inflammatory pairing menu demonstrates that fine dining can align with wellness without compromising flavour. Watch Nicola Cunningham and Dr Julienne Fenwick share their experience.

Sustainability and Self-Sufficiency

As both vineyard and garden, Creation minimises environmental impact while maximising the authentic expression of terroir. Our biodiversity-focused approach ensures that sustainability remains at the heart of the culinary experience. Watch our WWF Sustainability Video

We’re committed to providing meaningful career opportunities, skills development, and growth for our team members, many of whom have been with us for several years.

Wine Pairing Expertise

As a winery first, Creation ensures each dish is conceived with wine in mind, creating memorable pairings that elevate both wine and food. Our deep understanding of flavour synergies results in a seamless integration of culinary and viticultural excellence.
