Join us for an exclusive virtual wine tasting hosted by Journey’s End live from the winemaker in Stellenbosch, South Africa. To make the South African themed evening more special, we have also invited our new captain Stephan Lewies, alongside new Harlequins stars Andre Esterhuizen and Tyrone Green who will be able to share some stories from their time growing up in South Africa, and from their rugby careers both on and off the pitch.
About our host…
Among the long rolling south-facing slopes of the Stellenbosch winelands, caressed by cool coastal breezes, lies the boutique winery and vineyard, Journey’s End. With only a handful of premium, hand-crafted wines produced here, the focus is very much on quality.
Journey’s End Vineyard is owned by the Gabb Family, originally from Shropshire in the UK. The Gabb family took control of this picturesque wine farm surrounded by 20 ha of gorgeous vineyards in 1995. By 2011 they had grown the estate to 120 ha.
Journey’s End has also launched The Journey’s End Foundation, to tackle hunger and extreme poverty in the Helderberg Region of Stellenbosch – largely as a result of Covid-19.
The Journey’s End Foundation has set up a network of Soup Kitchens in the Helderberg Region and has initially committed to providing 8,000 meals per week for 52 weeks, with a target of achieving 10,000 meals per week by the end of October 2020.
Journey’s End also recently teamed up with Noble Green in Hampton who supply all their wines.
