Vergelegen Wines continues to lead by example in sustainability. During Arbor Week, staff from all divisions united to plant 200 trees as part of the estate's annual commitment to planting 1000 trees.

With chefs, vineyard workers, and gardeners working side by side, Vergelegen is restoring its 54-hectare arboretum and gardens, facing challenges from destructive pests and severe weather.

This year, resilient species like South Africa’s national tree, the real yellowwood, milkwood, and oak were planted.
