Journey’s End Vineyards Launches The Journey’s End Foundation

October 5, 2020 in Charity, Lifestyle, Travel, Winelands- South Africa

Some places are just filled with such an incredible energy and I’ve always felt that way about Journey’s End Vineyards. A bit of a hidden gem tucked away in Sir Lowry’s Pass. I’d been invited over a year ago to visit the wine farm and fell in love with their wines.

Then in late January/early February this year when my sister came down from England to visit, she to raved about their wines. Even though they weren’t open to the public since they were busy with their harvest. We were fortunate to be able to visit and have a very special wine-tasting.

A very modern 250-ton cellar provides winemaker, Mike Dawson with all the tools to produce the highest-quality wines with minimal interference in the natural winemaking process. Just to be able to have the time to chat with Leon was a privilege in itself. For such a young and highly talented winemaker his knowledge is astounding and he is incredibly humble. In every wine you can taste the amount of skill and passion he has.

Even though our visit to the wine farm was 8 months ago, due to lockdown it feels far longer. Not only do they put an immense amount of care into their winemaking process. They are also champions in their community. Journey’s End Vineyards have recently launched The Journey’s End Foundation, the latest community project from the winery.

Mienkie’s Soup Kitchen in Sir Lowry’s Pass, which is providing meals for the local community as part of the Journey’s End Foundation.

“Set up as an NGO, Rollo Gabb, MD, and his team have established the Foundation to tackle hunger and extreme poverty in the Helderberg region of Stellenbosch – largely as a result of Covid-19.

The Journey’s End Foundation has set up a network of Soup Kitchens in the Helderberg Region and has initially committed to providing 8,000 meals per week, with a target of achieving 10,000 meals per week by the end of October 2020.

Comments Rollo Gabb, “The South African economy continues to be very badly affected by Covid 19, with the Western Cape in particular hit by zero tourism and close to zero hospitality. This coupled with a recent ban on domestic wine sales has severely impacted the wine industry, and a 10pm curfew is killing the restaurant sector, leading to a very significant increase in unemployment. With very little government support many families are now unable to bring any food to the table and starvation in the Cape is a real risk. It has been reported that some 20,000 people in Stellenbosch alone are at risk of hunger.

“We completed the set-up of the Journey’s End Foundation last month realising we needed to move fast. Journey’s End has committed funds to provide food for just over 400,000 meals through a network of nine Soup Kitchens over the coming 12 months.” 

For many years, Journey’s End has placed big focus on supporting the winery’s local community, Sir Lowry’s Pass Village. As well as providing employment at the winery, the team works closely with community heads to channel resources into a number of development programmes which included the building of a new school hall for the local school in Sir Lowry’s Pass village.  This is where many of the local children received their only meal of the day. With schools currently shut these children are going hungry.

In setting up the Foundation, they have worked closely with Hettie Orffer, CEO and Developer of the ‘Beat the Bully’ programme – another programme funded exclusively by Journeys End, which focuses on eradicating bullying in the Cape townships through education and intervention.”

      When things are back to a new normal then I must take you there. In fact, we really should visit more wine farms together. Girly winos for the win!

This summer heat is definitely making the days fee This summer heat is definitely making the days feel far longer. Also, since doing both #Veganuary2021 and the @RushTush Vegan Glow Cleanse, prepping food in advance has become a part of my routine. No more rushing to make quickly make something or quickly ordering a takeaway. This means healthier and more filling meals. So usually at this time it’s simply snack time. Fresh pineapple is a favourite. I sometimes even ice mine!

Remember you can still try the @rushtushlife #Rushtushfitapp with their awesome “first 2 weeks free” offer. It is then R250 p.m for a year.

I have so many personal posts I want to write but am also afraid of sharing. Especially at a time when it seems like everything brings out the “ugly” in people. Anyone else feeling the same?

Oh just casually forcing my fur kids to love me!!! Oh just casually forcing my fur kids to love me!!! 

Just kidding, they usually the ones begging for love. @candi_onewoofatatime sleeps on my feet as in on. To trap me or on my actual head. @oneroccoatatime also tries to do the “on mummy’s head” move even though he weighs 32kg. Or he sleeps alongside us like a real big boy that snores. They the most amazing little souls and have helped me through so many tough mental health times. 

Yes, we allow our dogs on the bed. They are actually cleaner than most humans 💕

Should have of course posted these last night but Should have of course posted these last night but hey the evening was SO crazy!! Haha actually it was a total bust. Arguing over midnight music, weird tasting cocktails and hangry as my pizzas were taking too long. But we were together and alive so I guess that’s a plus. Tried to create a “holiday” vibe with whatever I could find around the house.
New Year’s Eve (well afternoon) braai today was New Year’s Eve (well afternoon) braai today was completely plant-based 🌱 

So far #Veganuary2021 has been super simple to incorporate into my life. In fact, even more, tasty than usual thanks to the wide range of #FrysFamily meat-alternatives. 

And yes it’s not January yet, so not technically 2021 or #Veganuary2021 but it’s never too early to try plant-based. In fact, I decided to start 10 days ago. 

As far as my winning braai goes, even the boyfriend enjoyed the @frysfamily burgers and didn’t realise that the potato salad, garlic butter bread (braai-broodjies), creamy salad dressing on the salad, and of course the burgers, buns and all were completely #Vegan! To #LiveKindly doesn’t mean to “miss out”.

I thought I’d share some of the @rushtush produc I thought I’d share some of the @rushtush products I’ve been using for the past month and a half. These have really made a difference not only in conjunction with the @rushtushlife but also in my general lifestyle. These are not diet products! They do aid with fitness, but also energy and blood sugar levels.

Metabolic Spray: Contains Lipotropic factors which may support a healthy metabolism.

Gluc Support: Has been fantastic in helping with my intense carb cravings! It provides support with the metabolism of glucose. So no massive sugar-induced highs and then crashes which lead to carb cravings. My weakness. For some it’s just plain sugary cravings.

Glutamine: I have taken L-Glutamine, an amino acid, supplements over the years. Mostly for digestive issues. It is a wonder health product though and helps with muscle recovery and cellular regeneration. I’ve always loved it as it works superbly for bloating, it also prevents infection and helps with inflammation! 

The #RushTushFitApp has a “first 2 weeks free” offer. It is then R250 p.m for a year. So why not try it out and start the new year on a good and healthy note!

*All of the above products are #Vegan and are available on RushTush website.
