With its enviable location and world-class facilities, there's no doubt that Val de Vie is one of the most prestigious venues for exceptional corporate events. Click on the image for more information about what the estate has to offer.

Here's an idea that we absolutely love! Creative couple Rohan and Lurina are going to celebrate their wedding at Val de Vie in December, and the story behind their wedding is very special indeed.

As part of his proposal, Rohan designed a beautiful label for a Champagne bottle bearing the words "Suikerbossie, ek wil jou hê”, a line from a famous Afrikaans folk song. It's no surprise that Lurina was enchanted by the gorgeous design!

Visit the Design Indaba's website for more on this wonderfully romantic and creative gesture.

Here is a photo of the wonderful Jenna Clifford Team with Peter Wagenaar (Seeff manager of the Val de Vie Property office) and Simoné de Wet of Val de Vie Events.

Val de Vie values its close relationship with Jenna Clifford and strongly admires the work by the Dream Big Foundation, a powerful, philanthropic initiative driven and inspired by Jenna Clifford and Ryk Neethling (Olympic Gold Medallist). The projects aims to unite and harness the dual power of genders and instil a visionary, balanced, prosperous society that Dreams Big! Dream Big supports the WSPCCA (Walter Sisulu Paediatric and Cardiac Centre for Africa) as well as the Tomorrow Trust. A percentage of proceeds on all Dream Big items sold go to these special and unique children organisations.

As two exceptional luxury brands, Val de Vie and Jenna Clifford look forward to announcing some exciting plans in the near future. Watch this space!

Here are some wonderful photos from Lollos' visit to Val de Vie! It was a real treat for the children who attended this fun-filled event. Not only did kids sing along to favourite songs such as Stadig oor die Klippertjies and Koring Sny, they also had the opportunity to dance and participate in this educational show.
