Reviews for Jabulani Vineyard & Winery

Jabulani is a hidden gem!

When we were looking for a place to get married we wanted to go somewhere private and somewhere special that no one we knew had heard of or got married at!

We stumbled upon Jabulani after golf one day and we just knew - this was the place we had to get married. It was the perfect mix of outdoorsy & classy and the perfect backdrop to represent the love story of two foodie wine lovers!

The winery was originally owned by Tom & Janet and was sold half way through our year of lead up, When the new owners took over they honoured our contract 100% and even put in a few extra touches - some beautiful improvements to the building, lovely chairs, lights, and an awesome wedding coordinator Megan.

Jabulani means “Place of Happiness” in Zulu - so how can you not get married here? 😍
