Quoin Rock: An Unforgettable New Year’s Eve Celebration to Usher in 2026

For a breathtaking backdrop to a New Year’s Eve celebration in the Winelands, Quoin Rock holds all the cards. The contemporary, elegant venue is set against vines, valleys and the mountain slopes of the Simonsberg, the ideal setting for a sophisticated and stylish party to end the year on the highest note.

Celebration takes on a new dimension here…The first pop of festive cap classique signals an evening of pure decadence, before you embark on a New Year’s Eve fantasy of opulence: iconic vintages, dazzling live entertainment, flowing wine, and a midnight countdown beneath the Stellenbosch stars. The glittering night culminates in a stunning fireworks display, whether you go for the Classic ticket or snap up one of only 40 VIP tickets.

A night that shimmers with style

Surrounded by architectural beauty and mountain silhouettes, Quoin Rock will be partying in style with the ultimate red-carpet experience. You’ll be entertained and dazzled by a live jazz band featuring Nurit Graff & John Hassan, an opera singer, dancers, a trapeze artist, and with DJ Dino Moran setting the vibe, you’ll dance your way into 2026 under the stars. Not to mention the spectacular fireworks display that welcomes in the new year. Wander through sculpture-dotted gardens out onto the terrace to absorb the beautiful surroundings, and capture the moment with friends and family in the photo booth.

An extraordinary NYE to remember

Canapés and gourmet plates are served inside the venue for guests with a Classic ticket, who’ll be greeted with glasses frothing over with cap classique and oyster pairings. Quoin Rock’s White Series wines (sauvignon blanc, rosé and Simonsberg red) accompany the decadent culinary creations on offer, and you can also swing by the mixology bar for a smooth cocktail…

The most luxurious NYE in the Winelands

If you’d like to ease into your New Year celebrations over an exclusive gourmet extravaganza, snap up one of only 40 VIP tickets. A superb three-course culinary experience is accompanied by pairings from the award-winning Quoin Rock Black Series and special unreleased wines, as well as vintage cap classique and Knorhoek gins. This ticket to unparalleled luxury includes a secret tour and surprise performance, after which you join the celebrations in the main venue for dancing and fireworks.

A night designed to captivate… and impossible to forget, this is the NYE you’ve been waiting for.
