Uncork your creativity at Brookdale Estate in the Paarl Winelands, where fine wine, inspired cuisine, and artistic expression will come together for a meaningful cause on Saturday 13 September 2025.

Hosted in partnership with the social impact organisation Call to Care, this unique Brookdale Clay & Wine fundraising event invites guests to a morning of art, flavour, and purpose in a guided workshop where guests will sculpt, paint and decorate their own clay jewellery tray to take home.

Call to Care is a Cape-based non-profit organisation dedicated to uplifting vulnerable communities. By focusing on education, youth development, and basic needs support, they work tirelessly to create sustainable, long-term change for those most in need.

Guests will be welcomed at the Bistro at Brookdale with a glass of bubbly on arrival, followed by tastings of two Brookdale Mason Road wines, enjoyed with one of the elegantly plated small dishes. Choose between Duck liver pâté; Miso aubergine; or Bobotie tortellini in a feast for the senses that mirrors the creativity of the day.

For those wishing to extend the experience, Brookdale invites you to relax and savour a seasonal 2-course lunch (R425) or indulge in the full 3-course offering (R565) at the estate’s elegant bistro-style restaurant amongst the vineyards.

More than just a creative culinary adventure, proceeds from Brookdale’s Clay & Wine event will contribute to the support of underserved communities across the Western Cape.
