Saronsberg Cellar nurtures a unique artistic heritage of South Africa and continuously extends this heritage with new influences to evolve within a changing society. The collection features three unique characteristics: it hosts a diverse South African art historical record, secondly, it displays artworks uniquely and intimately and finally it offers a significant sculptural component.

The Saronsberg Collection

Spans from early twentieth-century South African history, Modernistic pieces influenced by indigenous cultures and Europe, such as Bettie-Cilliers Barnard and Walter Battiss, the Polly Street Centre era featuring Sydney Khumalo, to modern Contemporary fine artists such as Robert Hodgins, Norman Catherine, William Kentridge, Colbert Mashile, Angus Taylor, Diane Victor and many more.

Saronsberg is distinguishably different from most contemporary galleries and other wine estate collections for this collection is presented in a uniquely intimate manner. The cellar has an inviting and casual ambience and offers a close-up experience with iconic artworks. This is made possible by placing artworks thoughtfully yet casually around the space, not separated from its audience through plinths and sterile white cube spaces but integrated throughout the larger cellar and its surroundings.
