The alcohol ban in South Africa has been lifted! 

But the work is not over.

The recent 14 week ban on the sale of alcohol has had a devastating impact on South Africa. Although the ban has been lifted, the restaurant, alcohol and hospitality industries remain under very strict regulations and the communities that have been affected are in a hunger crisis. Tourism is still completely shut down, and sadly most of our wineries rely heavily on International visitors to support them.  There is still a possibility that the country will have to move to a shut-down again if COVID infections rise.

The fund aims to re-stabilize a severely impacted industry until March 2021 (at least), by providing financial support to restaurants so that they remain operational and can keep putting food on the table for the huge number of hungry families across South Africa that are suffering from this devastating impact.

• Secure the South African wineries sales
• Help the restaurants stay open
• Support the preparation and distribution of meals to those in need

Creation is one of only nine wineries in South Africa to receive the coveted EnviroWines accreditation. They work in harmony with Mother Nature to produce some of the best wines coming from South Africa. Their "Art of Pinot Noir" and "Art of Chardonnay" both scored 96 points from Tim Atkin. 

We are thrilled to  be receiving their full portfolio from South Africa next week. However, only 3 - 5 cases of each wine is being imported.  Stock will sell fast.

Preorder them now. $20 Shipping on 6.

It has been twelve years since our journey began with a focus on bringing the incredible wineries of South Africa to your door. Along our travels we found the challenges of quality smaller producers are common; getting a great product into the hands of those that appreciate them. Most of these producers are locked out of markets simply due to limited scale and production. Typical importers will focus on mass-produced, highly-distributable products with quality being the first casualty.

While how we live and experience the world has changed a great deal in 2020, our underlying mission has not: 

To make high quality, limited availability wines accessible to our clients. 

We know that quality producers are in all of the great wine-producing regions. About 3 years ago we began to include Australia and New Zealand into our community of world travelers. Taking direction from our loyal clients, we are now tiptoeing full circle back to the Old World with a limited offering of high-quality wines from Italy and France. 

Come join us on our exploration of these regions. We have been updating our website a bit to help navigate our selections by showing available ratings and the quantity imported or acquired so that you can easily make an assessment.

We are dedicated to giving you access to high quality product, that is one thing you can trust about our brand. So come check out these limited selections and let us know what you think.

We look forward to telling you stories about each and every one of these new boutique wines, that have been carefully crafted for your enjoyment. If there is a particular producer you think we should look at. Please let us know.

If you have been lucky enough to travel to the continent of Africa to indulge in some of the many fantastic experiences on offer, you probably know that this part of the world's keystones species are crucial to the delicate ecosystems found there. Elephants are the pillars of these ecosystems and are sadly under severe threat from habitat loss, human-wildlife conflict and poaching.

Africa's wildlife is being pushed to the brink of extinction.

We want to play an active role in helping to protect these vulnerable ecosystems of Africa. It is, after all, the reason we started our company!

We're excited to announce a partnership with a highly reputable organization called The Sheldrick Wildlife Trust.
