Featured Properties and Experiences

Delaire Graff Gardens and Estate-to-Plate Experience

At Delaire Graff Estate in the Cape Winelands, the lush gardens are nurtured by a dedicated team, with summer being the busiest season for blooming flowers and edible plants. The estate's 30 acres feature a variety of indigenous and non-invasive flora, including the striking king protea and elegant agapanthus, which visitors can enjoy year-round.

The property's on-site wormery plays a key role in sustaining these gardens, turning organic waste from the estate into valuable compost that enriches the soil, ensuring the vitality of the plant life. The garden is also home to numerous pollinators, making it a vibrant, living ecosystem.

Guests at Delaire Graff can also enjoy a true Estate-to-Plate experience, with chefs selecting the freshest seasonal vegetables and herbs from the garden daily, to create creative and delicious dishes. This farm-to-table approach offers a direct connection to the land, ensuring every meal is fresh, flavorful and meaningful.
