Yellowwood Winery

Experience the raw beauty of the Swartland as chef Louise Gillett and her team ignite the flames for an unforgettable farm-to-fire dining experience. This 14th edition of our celebrated pop-up restaurant takes place beneath the silos at Elandsberg Farms, where open-fire cooking and bold Swartland wines come together for a night of smoky flavours, fine craftsmanship, and true country hospitality.

In celebration of Swartland terroir and its passionate people, we welcome winemaker Alan Cooke of Yellowwood Winery, whose hand-crafted Aspoestertjie wines capture the essence of this rugged land. From vine to bottle, Alan’s approach is purely artisanal—every grape is hand-picked, every label hand-placed—resulting in wines that showcase the full intensity of Swartland’s unique soils. His lineup includes Chenin Blanc, Colombard, Grenache Noir, Mourvèdre, and Syrah, each one a testament to the region’s dry-farmed Rhône-style heritage.
