Creation & Vilafonté are the ‘official wines’ at The Luxurious Marble Circus 2025
The Vision: Connect, Collaborate, Innovate
At Creation Wines, our philosophy has always been clear: Connect, Collaborate, Innovate. These three pillars don’t just guide our winemaking; they define how we engage with the world. And nowhere will this spirit be more magnificently displayed than at The Vinarium, our exclusive collab with Simonsberg-Paarl wine producer Vilafonté at The Luxurious Marble Circus, taking place in Muldersdrift in Gauteng from 4 to 5 October 2025.
Two Wine Legends
The Vinarium represents the perfect marriage of two South African wine legends, each with an extraordinary story to tell:
Creation: The Ridge of Innovation
Perched high on the Hemel-en-Aarde Ridge, Creation embodies the spirit of tomorrow. Here, every dawn brings new challenges, and innovation flows as naturally as our award-winning cool-climate wines. Swiss winemaker Jean-Claude Martin and his South African wife Carolyn have built more than an estate; they’ve created a living, breathing testament to what happens when passion meets possibility.
Vilafonté: Ancient Soils, Timeless Excellence
The original Vilafonté dream was to create a wine from Africa’s remarkable ancient terroir, one that could stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the greatest wines in the world.
Where Two Worlds Converge: The Luxurious Marble Circus
The Luxurious Marble Circus promises to be ‘a Fantasma of Feastery, Finery and Funnery’ – a two-day festival that transforms Ground The Venue in Muldersdrift into a whimsical world of music, fashion, food and wine to create something utterly unprecedented, ‘a detour from the ordinarious’. This grand collaboration between The Marble Group, Grid Worldwide, G&G Productions and Investec perfectly embodies Creation’s core values of connecting, collaborating, and innovating.
The Experience Awaits
🎪 The Spectacle: A three-storey stage with over twice the size and thrice the spectacle, welcoming local and international artists from noon to midnight
🎵 The Soundtrack: Genre-jumping journeys from Disco to Deep House on Saturday; the rhythms of Amapiano and Afrobeats on Sunday
🍽️ The Culinary Theatre: ‘Fantastical feasting’ experiences across multiple themed dining spaces, curated by celebrity chef David Higgs
🍷 The Vinarium: Our exclusive wine sanctuary where Creation’s cool-climate elegance meets Vilafonté’s ancient terroir gravitas
Why This Matters: More Than Just a Party
In 2024, the inaugural Luxurious Marble Circus donated over a quarter of a million rand to key beneficiaries while showcasing young performers and reducing more than 8.6 tonnes of waste – proving that extraordinary experiences can create lasting positive impact.
The Vinarium represents everything we believe in:
- Connection: Bringing together two legendary South African wine estates in unprecedented partnership with the Luxurious Marble Circus.
- Collaboration: Uniting ancient terroir with modern innovation, Old World technique with New World vision
- Innovation: Creating a wine experience unlike anything seen before in South African wine culture
