Landtscap Wedding Venue Cape Town

Landtscap is paving the way for wedding venues in South Africa.  Over and above the beautiful look and feel of the venue, inspired by organic simplicity, Landtscap is a forward-thinking and environmentally conscious wedding venue, priding itself on its business philosophy which focuses on the practice of a sustainable model. What does a sustainable model entail? To achieve sustainability, one needs to consider all three pillars, namely: environmental sustainability; social sustainability; and economic sustainability.

Environmental Sustainability

Using ecologically sensitive farming methods, the farm focuses on how soils are prepared, how they nurture the vines and conserve their non-agricultural lands. According to the farm’s owners healthy soil is not only the foundation to our food system, but it is also one of our most important carbon storage systems, and therefore an integral element in our battle against climate change.  

Secondly, recycling is a priority at Landtscap as bottles, plastics and paper are all reused, in line with company policy. The kitchen further recycles all kitchen waste through composting, which is worked back into the gardens.

In keeping with their sustainable philosophy, vegetables and salads are sourced from the garden and used to create fresh, seasonal fusion cuisine.

 

Social Sustainability

Situated in Stellenbosch, Landtscap endeavours to employ people from the surrounding farming community. The economic impact of these efforts is directly related to the size and scope of the events hosted at the venue.

The farms have also been certified by FLO-CERT under the Fair Label Organisation (FLO) Standards that form part of Fairtrade. The Fairtrade label represents sustainability and justice in production and trade processes. This, in turn, has inspired those at Landtscap to facilitate the empowerment of their farmworkers and encourage community upliftment.

 

Economic Sustainability

High value is placed on the local businesses and they support local companies by using their products.
