The Heart of the Helderberg was formed by founding members Vergelegen Wine Estate, Morgenster Wine & Olive Estate, Lourensford Wine Estate, Erinvale Estate Hotel & Spa and Erinvale Golf Club & Home Owners Association- iconic estates with hundreds of years of heritage that shaped this place we now call home.

Created with a shared vision in mind, one that ensures its active and vibrant community a unique and inclusive offering that integrates the best of each individual enterprise. At the core of this cohesive project is the belief that a compassionate community with a shared vision can be unstoppable in achieving all they set out to, all the while delivering world-class hospitality to locals and the discerning traveller alike.

Together with the Helderberg Nature Reserve efforts, all our properties align to conserve and support the natural beauty and conservation work of the area ensuring that our protected natural environment is accessible to everyone. Furthermore, local non-profit organisation – The Imibala Trust is the chosen beneficiary for all combined social fundraising, aiding in the great work done to make substantial and measurable difference in the lives of impoverished children in the Helderberg basin and beyond.

With so much on offer in our very own ‘backyard’, you’ll need more than a weekend to enjoy it all. Begin with a mid-week or weekend visit as you get acquainted with our many gastronomic and activity options and return time and time again, feeling like old friends, in the true ‘Somerset West way’ – a place where generosity of spirit is still abundant.
