Expect the unexpected when Dunstone Country Estate’s renowned luxury-infused lifestyle event — the A.R.T WINE Exhibition — returns on Saturday, 1 November 2025, promising a vibrant celebration of art, food, wine, design, fashion, and live music.
With only 200 tickets available, this sought-after Winelands experience will once again be among the most anticipated gatherings of the season — where creative flair meets fine living in the heart of Wellington.
A Celebration of Art, Wine and Connection
“This is more than just a showcase — it’s an invitation to immerse yourself in the beauty, creativity, and warm hospitality that define Wellington,” says Dirk Vaeye, co-owner of Dunstone Country Estate with Maudie Marie Smit. “The event perfectly captures the lifestyle and excellence our valley has to offer.”
Guests can look forward to fine wines from Wellington producers, including Wolvenhoek, Jacaranda Wines, Bela-Bela, Doolhof Wine Estate, Canetsfontein, Hildebrand Wines & Olive Oil, and Tempel Wines, alongside premium brandies and whiskies from the region.
The centrepiece of the day is a five-course tasting menu, each dish expertly paired with wines from local estates. Seating is limited and staggered to ensure an intimate experience.
An Experience for All the Senses
Set in the vineyard-lined foothills of the Hawequa and Limiet Mountains, just an hour from Cape Town, Dunstone Country Estate offers a serene escape. Its boutique winery, guesthouse, Roots Bistro, and art gallery make it a year-round destination.
Event highlights include:
- Cap Classique, oysters, and macarons on arrival
- Tapas-style wine and canapé pairings in the estate gardens
- An art walk through vineyards and orchards, featuring curated works from local artists and the Art@Africa Kunye Collaboration
- Live music performances throughout the day
- Pop-ups showcasing design, décor, antiques, and artisan craftsmanship
- Wellness experiences such as hand and foot massages at a chic beach-style bar
- A red-carpet fashion show highlighting new-season designs
Guests are encouraged to dress to impress — with a luxury weekend prize for the best-dressed couple.
