As summer fades and the golden light softens over the Mont Rochelle vineyards, join us for a relaxed afternoon of great food, open skies, and extraordinary live music to bid the season a beautiful farewell.

We welcome twice South African Music Award-nominated electric cellist Carol Thorns, who fills the grounds with soulful, immersive sound, her layered cello gliding over strings and piano in a way that stills the soul. Having opened for Vanessa Mae and Elton John, Carol brings world-class artistry to the afternoon, weaving together original compositions and reimagined favourites.
