***Winner announced! Congratulations to Izelle Brand who won this fabulous prize.
Named after the South African golf legend, this beautiful wine farm in the Helderberg region of Stellenbosch is home to an array of attractions – a state-of-the-art wine cellar, vinotheque and tasting room, a stylish restaurant and terrace and, naturally, the Ernie Els trophy room – all complemented by spectacular views. There’s even a chipping green if you’d like to try out your golf swing.
With gorgeous surroundings, delectable dishes and top-notch vino on offer, it’s no wonder locals and tourists alike come from near and far to spend a day at Ernie Els Wines. If this sounds like your kind of excursion, stick around because we’ve got some great news.
You and three (very) lucky plus ones could experience the magic of this Stellenbosch Winelands destination first-hand by simply entering our giveaway. The lucky winner and their group will be treated to a welcoming glass of wine upon arrival, followed by a personalised tour of the wine cellar and vinotheque, an exclusive wine-tasting of the flagship range and, of course, a visit to the Ernie Els trophy room. Your special day ends with a lip-smacking lunch in the restaurant.
After extensive renovations that began in 2018, the new Ernie Els Winery was unveiled in September 2020 – boasting striking, award-winning architecture and contemporary interiors that are both sophisticated and warm and welcoming. The restaurant offers a wonderful dining experience in the country, with friendly service, an accessible menu and a picturesque terrace for alfresco meals.
Curated by executive chef Saskia Nel (previously of Leeu Collection in Franschhoek), the menu includes light starters, wholesome hand-made pastas, burgers, dry-aged beef, items off the specially imported Grillworks, and chef Saskia’s home-made ice cream.
The wines are also something to write home about. Crafted by winemaker Louis Strydom, the estate’s premium wines range from a crisp and fruity chenin blanc to a full-bodied cabernet sauvignon and a Bordeaux-style blend.
Luckily, in this case, you won’t have to write home about anything – as the wines will be going with you. Each couple (or pair) will be gifted The Big Easy Box, stocked with two bottles each of chenin blanc, cabernet sauvignon rosé and cabernet sauvignon to enjoy long after the day is over.
