Planning a wedding in the Cape Winelands is already magical, but why limit the celebration to just one day? At Le Pommier Wine Estate, nestled in the heart of the Banhoek Valley near Stellenbosch, our Le Pommier Vineyard Barn offers the perfect setting to host unforgettable pre-wedding events. Whether you’re welcoming out-of-town guests or simply extending the joy of your union, these experiences add depth, warmth, and extra sparkle to your Stellenbosch wedding.

Rehearsal Dinner with a Winelands Twist

Kick off your wedding weekend with a beautiful rehearsal dinner in the Vineyard Barn. Picture long harvest tables, soft lighting, and a curated menu paired with our estate wines. Add a speech or two and some live acoustic music, and it’s the perfect way to gather your closest people before the big day.

Welcome Party or Meet & Greet

Let your guests settle into the Stellenbosch scenery with a relaxed welcome party. Opt for casual canapés and wine tastings or go full-on local with a traditional braai evening. Fire pits, fairy lights, and good conversation set the tone for a heartfelt Wineland wedding celebration.

Bridal Brunch & Bubbles

Treat your bridal party to a morning-after or pre-wedding brunch in the Vineyard Barn. Think mimosas, fresh pastries, and seasonal fruits, all served in a beautiful country-style setting. It’s the perfect way to start your wedding day—or wind down from the excitement.

Winelands Potjiekos Night

Showcase local tradition with a potjiekos evening—slow-cooked stews made over open flames, paired with robust Le Pommier reds. This is perfect for couples who want a true South African feel woven into their Stellenbosch wedding weekend.

Shooters Toast & Stories Night

For a cheeky and cheerful moment, host a shooters toast the night before your wedding. It’s a fun way to break the ice and create memories. Pair it with a “story night” where friends and family share moments, jokes, and memories of the couple.

Celebrate Love the Winelands Way

At Le Pommier, we believe weddings should be more than a day—they should be a full, immersive experience. Our Vineyard Barn is an ideal venue to host these unique and meaningful pre-wedding events, surrounded by mountains, vineyards, and the warmth of Winelands hospitality.

Whether you’re planning an intimate Stellenbosch wedding or a grand Wineland celebration, we’re here to make every moment count.
