This May, a member of Cape Country Routes, the De Hoop Collection, is partnering with Bruce Jack, founder and winemaker of Bruce Jack Wines – an independent, family-run, global wine business based in the Bredekloof Valley – to offer a Luxury Wine Weekend from 30 May to 1 June 2025.
“Do yourself a favour: book for what promises to be an unforgettable weekend! A weekend filled with wine, food, comfortable accommodation, pristine beaches and stunning landscapes that feature the delights of De Hoop and the refinement of expertly crafted South African wine,” says owner of the De Hoop Collection, William Stephens.
With its charming Cape Dutch-inspired accommodation ranging from affordable self-catering chalets and cottages to upmarket suites and fully catered lodges; its Fig Tree Restaurant with an impressive wine cellar housed in a repurposed grain silo that overlooks the birdlife-rich vlei; the sea and sand dunes; the floral sensation of rare fynbos plants; diverse antelope, Cape vultures, whales; and the Potberg Mountain, this exceptional getaway, situated in the heart of De Hoop Nature Reserve, ticks all the boxes.
The De Hoop Collection Bruce Jack Luxury Wine Weekend includes a dinner on Friday evening with Jack’s new launch tasting of new vintages and new projects, with the Palm Strings providing soothing background music.
On Saturday, there will be a Master Class with Michael Fridjhon, titled: “How does the Agulhas Wine Triangle compare with the rest of the world?” (booked and paid for separately) and also an opportunity to hear about and see the Origins of Early Southern Sapiens Behaviour exhibition that highlights the Southern Cape coastline’s archaeological heritage and diverse marine environment.
Saturday evening is an epic Wine and Dine with special wines from a quarter of a century from Bruce Jack, paired with delicious food and compared with iconic international wines.
