Signage, wallpaper and branding for wine estates and hotels

A matching set of signs for the estate

A wine estate has many buildings, and guests use the signs to find their way. At La Motte in Franschhoek, the red crest and estate lettering are on the entrance wall, with its Anno 1695. They are also on the signs for the Proeflokaal, the barrel cellar, the Bakkery, Spens Farm Pantry, L’Ami Family Boulangerie, the Atelier Creative Studio and the Plaaswinkel.

We made each sign to suit its wall. There are brushed metal letters on oak and gold lettering on the glass of the arched Parshuis Old Cellar door. There are raised white letters above the tasting room and a hanging sign under the Bakkery’s steel canopy. When you plan the signs as a set, the fonts, colours and finishes stay the same. A new venue on the farm can then get a matching sign later. Our 3D letters and reception signs page covers the materials.

Halo-lit crests and hotel signs

Cellars and tasting rooms are often dim. A lit crest is easy to see in these rooms. The La Motte crests are halo-lit. The light sits behind the crest and makes a glow on the wall around it. There are crests at the end of a vaulted barrel cellar and on the front of an oak tasting counter. At Lanzerac Hotel & Spa in Stellenbosch, the illuminated hotel sign shows the estate crest, 1692 and five stars. See illuminated signs and light boxes for the options. That page also explains what a lit sign needs on site. The first thing it needs is a power supply close by.

Wallpaper and interior graphics

Hotels and restaurants often need wallpaper and graphics inside, as well as signs outside. At Lanzerac, we printed blue and white damask wallpaper to fit the stairwell and the restaurant. The wallpaper runs up the curved stairwell past brass wall lamps. It also covers the wall above the restaurant’s leather banquettes. Around the spa there are branded bar fronts, and the crest and lettering on a black reception fascia. There is also frosted Lanzerac lettering on the glass of a reception office and a laser-cut cork world map on a black wall.
