Rain on the way?

Those threatening clouds are back, but it's still sunny down in our end of the valley. On average we get one third of the rain that falls on the Steenbras Dam side (that is the part that is dark grey in the picture).

Open Gardens and Sheena Ridley

For the first time South Hill's magnificent gardens will officially be participating in the annual Open Gardens weekends here in Elgin! If our contemporary indigenous gardens, great wine and fantastic food aren't enough to tempt you to come and visit, we are also thrilled to announce that renowned artist, and former local of the valley, Sheena Ridley will be hosting her exhibition of paintings and sculptures at South Hill, this year from tomorrow the 28th October until Sunday the 6th of November.

Photographs hardly do these whimsical sculptures justice, so come and visit either this weekend or next.

Spring Has Definitely Sprung!

Wow, in the fury of getting the vineyards pruned before budding our blog has been somewhat neglected, but hopefully the new life that we see all around us will be reflected here too! What a spectacular season spring is, so much so that words and even pictures can barely do it justice, but I'll give the latter a go.

But there really is no substitute for actually visiting, so why not joining us for the open gardens on the 28-29th Oct or the 5-6th November?
