Where Vineyards Meet Violins… and Vionnets

Introducing a Winelands first:
In a trailblazing collaboration that fuses art, land and legacy, Creation Wines presents Agri-CULTURE — a breathtaking short film created in partnership with the Cape Town Philharmonic Orchestra, Cape Ballet Africa, a visionary fashion designer, and a renowned composer. 🎞️🩰🎼👗

This isn’t just a film — it’s a love letter to the land. 🌿
A celebration of how culture and cultivation have always been intertwined. From the patient tending of vineyards to the careful crafting of choreography, Agri-CULTURE reminds us that the soil beneath our feet is the first canvas of all creativity.

🍇 Each glass of wine is an artwork.
🩰 Each pirouette, a reflection of seasonal rhythm.
🎼 Each note composed, like terroir, shaped by time.

Filmed entirely in the Western Cape, this pioneering project showcases the region’s extraordinary creative talent, from winemaking and culinary artistry to classical performance, cinematography, and design. It’s a bold, beautiful expression of the spirit of collaboration that defines the Cape Winelands.

💡 Because here, wine isn’t just poured — it’s performed.
And culture doesn’t grow by accident — it’s cultivated.

🎥 Watch the film, sip the story, and experience Agri-CULTURE.

Today, we celebrate Nelson Mandela Day — a tribute to a man whose legacy continues to inspire hope, unity, and transformation.

Just like the South African winelands — grounded in heritage, yet always evolving — Madiba showed us that true change often begins within.
As he once said: “There is nothing like returning to a place that remains unchanged to find the ways in which you yourself have altered.”

✨ So why not return to the beauty of the Winelands? Let the mountains, the vineyards, and the people remind you of where we’ve come from — and the endless possibilities ahead.

Raise your glass today in honour of Madiba — to resilience, renewal, and the joy of shared moments.

Happy Nelson Mandela Day. 🕊️🍇
