Curate Terroir Series: Dalla Cia
This winter, our Curate Terroir Series continues with memorable wine-and-food evenings hosted in the Ellerman House Wine Gallery. It’s an intimate setting for an exclusive encounter with the Cape’s most respected winemaking voices. On 26 June, we welcome Dalla Cia, the Stellenbosch family label known for its Italian heritage, classically styled wines and artisanal grappa. Guests will enjoy canapés before moving indoors for a four-course dinner by the Curate culinary team, paired with a hand-picked selection of Dalla Cia wines from the Ellerman House cellar, presented by the Dalla Cia winemaking team.
The Dalla Cia Terroir Series dinner takes place on 26 June. Bookings cost R2500 per person, and can be made via Dineplan or email curate@ellerman.co.za.
Family time for Father’s Day
Father’s Day falls on the third Sunday of June (the 21st this year), and we can’t think of a better way to spoil Dad – and reconnect as a family – than by spending time together in the comfort and warmth of our award-winning private villas. Villa One accommodates up to 10 guests, so there’s plenty of space for the extended family, while Villa Two sleeps up to six guests. Both come with a dedicated hospitality team, including a private chef, and easy access to all of the Ellerman House facilities.
And this year you can treat Dad that little bit extra: our Winter Villa Promotion offers a 25% discount on all bookings for three nights or longer. Valid until 30 September 2026. Contact info@ellerman.co.za to book your stay.

ArtAngels, for a brighter future
South Africa observes Youth Day on 16 June, commemorating the 1976 student uprising and honouring the role young people have played in shaping the country’s future. It’s also a timely reminder that access to education remains one of the most powerful drivers of long-term opportunity. That goal is central to the annual ArtAngels Charity Auction at Ellerman House, which brings together art, philanthropy and purpose to improve education in under-resourced schools across South Africa. While the auction itself takes place on Saturday, 7 November 2026, our three-night Art & Impact Journey offers an immersive introduction to Cape Town’s creative landscape, with unique access to galleries and artist studios, leading up to the gala auction hosted at Ellerman House.
Slow down in the Secret Season
The cooler months of winter are when Cape Town is simply ideal for taking it slow. Whether you spend your time lingering over a tasting in the Winelands, or on day-long drives to explore the ‘Fairest Cape’, this is the time when the Mother City is at her most charming. The Ellerman House ‘Secret Season’ promotion allows you to stay a little longer and explore a little further.
Valid for travel until 30 September 2026, enjoy a 20% discount on accommodation when you book three nights or more in a Deluxe Room category or higher. Email info@ellerman.co.za to confirm availability.
Ellerman House welcomes We Are Africa
During the recent We Are Africa travel trade show in Cape Town, we were delighted to welcome some of the world’s leading travel journalists to Ellerman House for a relaxed ‘Sip & Paint’ afternoon; a creative way for them to experience our distinctive blend of art, hospitality and sense of place. With fine wine – and a paintbrush – in hand, and sweeping Atlantic views as a backdrop, guests experienced firsthand the artistic energy of Ellerman House and the scenic beauty of Cape Town.
