Sometimes the loveliest part of welcoming guests is hearing what they take home with them.

The peaceful surroundings, the little personal touches and the simple pleasure of having time to slow down.

We loved receiving these words from Pumeza:

“John’s place was honestly such a gem. The surroundings are absolutely beautiful and so peaceful, exactly what we needed to slow down and just breathe a bit. The space itself is clean, spacious, and really comfortable.

What stood out for me were the thoughtful personal touches, the treats in the fridge and the choccies for the kids were such a lovely surprise and made us feel really welcome.

John was also very friendly and easy to communicate with, which just made the whole experience even smoother.

We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back. Highly recommend.”

Thank you, Pumeza, for such lovely words. We look forward to welcoming you back.

Come stay awhile.

A little Dog Star out and about.
Our Chardonnay made an appearance at the annual Morvino W**e Merchants Trade Show, amongst good company and some wonderful South African wines.

It’s always a pleasure to see a little piece of our farm making its way into the wider world.

From our vineyards to your glass.

There’s a certain magic to the last light of the day.
When the sun slips through the trees, long shadows stretch across the grass and the Breede River catches the fading light.

Another beautiful day on the farm, asking nothing more than that you stop for a moment and take it all in.

Come stay awhile.

There’s something rather lovely about slipping away while the rest of the world carries on.

A quiet morning. Nowhere to rush to. A few days that feel entirely your own.

Sometimes the best weekends happen in the middle of the week.

Come stay awhile.

A little bit of The Dog Star could be heading home with you. 🍾

Silverthorn’s Celebrate Life: Spring Edition competition is now open, and tucked into the prize is a mixed case of Silverthorn & Dog Star wines, including some of our Dog Star Chardonnay.

Simply purchase 6 bottles or more of Silverthorn Cap Classique and you’ll automatically be entered to win the full spring prize.

Bubbles, Chardonnay and a few rather lovely extras. We think that’s worth celebrating.

A little starlight of our own. ✨

The 2026 Tim Atkin South Africa Special Report has been released, and we are incredibly proud to see both of our Dog Star Chardonnays recognised:

⭐ 93 points | 2023 The Dog Star Chardonnay Barrel Fermented
⭐ 91 points | 2025 The Dog Star Chardonnay Sur Lie

Two wines. Two different expressions of Chardonnay. Both born from this little piece of earth that surrounds The Dog Star Manor.

To receive this recognition from Tim Atkin is a wonderful honour, and one we’re very proud to share.
