Emporia Hotel — Imperial Vineyards

The Calendar

News & Events at the Estate

A living record of everything happening above the vineyard — tastings timed to the light, dinners built around the harvest, and evenings the whole estate turns out for. Some repeat by the week. Some come once a year.

A stay at Emporia rarely ends at check-out.

It continues in the winery, in the glass gallery, on the terrace after the sun has gone down. This calendar is our attempt to write it down — the recurring evenings, the seasonal ones, and the rare nights the whole estate turns out for. New chapters are added as the year moves through the vineyard; nothing here is fixed except the address.

Chapter One

Morning

Quiet hours, first light over the vines, and a slower start than most itineraries allow.

Vineyard Morning Walk & Tasting

Before the day's heat settles in, a guided walk through the Imperial Vineyards ends with a short, unhurried tasting — three wines, one view, and the estate at its stillest.

Chapter Two

Afternoon

The estate at its most sociable — cellar doors open, families on the vineyard trail, nothing rushed.

Family Weekend Vineyard Trail

A gentle trail through the vineyard for guests travelling with children — grape tasting for the grown-ups, a scavenger hunt among the rows for the rest.

Chapter Three

Golden Hour

The hour the whole estate seems built for — glasses catch the light, and the valley turns amber.

Candlelit Dinner Under the Stars

A single table, set beside still water and candlelight, for anniversaries, proposals, and evenings that deserve their own chapter.

Chapter Four

Evening

The dining room fills, the cellar opens its best bottles, and the year's calendar makes its case.

Winemaker's Evening

An evening with the hands behind the bottle. Emporia's winemaker walks guests through the vintage still ageing underground, egg and amphora.

Chapter Five

Night

Low light, music on the terrace, and a horizon pool that keeps performing long after dark.

Private Eve Galas

The estate's biggest night — a formal dinner, live music, and a countdown watched from the same terrace where summer sunsets are usually the main event.

The Rhythm of a Year

A calendar shaped by the seasons, not the other way around.

Some evenings repeat by the week, some by the season, and one — the harvest — only ever comes once. New chapters are added as the vineyard moves through the year.
