The staff of Stellenbosch Vineyards recently hosted residents of Enaleni Vineyards, a neighbouring wine farm owned by the community of workers living on the property, with a selection of handmade baked goods for International Mandela Day.
“Inspired by Madiba’s legacy, our staff volunteered their time and energy to prepare a feast of delicacies for all the families that live on Enaleni”, says Carli Jordaan, brand coordinator of Stellenbosch Vineyards. “This also gave us the opportunity to form a relationship with our neighbours and give back to our surrounding community.”

To keep the cold weather at bay, a variety of treats ranging from a hearty winter soup with bread to freshly made pancakes, scones and brownies were served alongside warm drinks. Children on the farm also enjoyed a classic children’s story read by Elizabeth Williams from Stellenbosch Vineyards.

“The gather of both teams turned out to be a joyous occasion that formed a solid foundation for our relationship and journey together as we strive to produce great quality wines from Stellenbosch - the heart of the winelands”, says Carli.

Stellenbosch Vineyards has made a corporate commitment to support the Enaleni farm, owned by 23 shareholders who are all farm workers that produce quality wine grapes. Funds generated from the grapes directly benefits the family and workers of the Enaleni farm.
