Creation Wines is situated on the scenic Hemel-en-Aarde Ridge, in the heart of the Cape Floral Kingdom. It is a place where family and friends meet to celebrate world-class wines and creative cuisine. The name ‘Creation’ came about as a tribute to the favourable wine growing conditions the team have created. Founders Jean-Claude and Carolyn Martin wanted to refer to the fact that we were the very first to establish virus-free vineyards on the farm, as well as reminding visitors and guests of their purpose of finding the spirit of renewal.
