Valentine’s Weekend in the Mountains
There’s something about the Drakensberg that lends itself naturally to romance. The scale of the mountains, the quiet between moments, the way a day unfolds without rush. This Valentine’s Weekend, Champagne Castle Hotel invites guests to settle into that rhythm and enjoy a weekend shaped by good wine, beautiful music, and time together.
Friday 13 February: Wine Tasting in the Mountains
The weekend begins gently on Friday evening with a relaxed wine tasting, hosted by Myles Buxton.
From 18:00 to 19:00, guests are welcome to join us on the patio for an informal tasting – a chance to unwind, compare notes, and ease into the weekend ahead.
There is no additional charge, and no need to book separately. Simply arrive, take a glass, and enjoy the moment if you’re free. Like so much of life in the mountains, it’s designed to be unforced and welcoming.
Saturday 14 February: Valentine’s Day Dinner
On Saturday evening, the focus turns fully to Valentine’s Day. A specially themed dinner will be served, created to be savoured slowly and shared easily. Throughout the evening, the gentle piano stylings of Mike Goosen will provide the soundtrack – familiar, romantic, and perfectly suited to candlelit conversations.
It’s an evening intended not to impress loudly, but to linger quietly: good food, live music, and the sense that there’s nowhere else you need to be.
A Valentine’s Weekend, the Champagne Castle Way
No rigid schedules. No overstatement. Just thoughtful touches, live music, and the mountains doing what they do best, creating space for connection.
Whether you join us for a glass of wine on Friday, a romantic dinner on Saturday, or simply the pleasure of being here, Valentine’s Weekend at Champagne Castle Hotel is about celebrating love in its simplest, most enduring form.
We look forward to sharing it with you.
