Kelders van Geheime is e.tv’s first original locally produced Afrikaans daily drama, produced by former kykNET boss, Karen Meiring under KFilms; with former Arendsvlei head writer Theltom Masimila serving as head writer for the telenovela.

The series is filmed on a working wine farm in Simondium, between Stellenbosch and Franschoek.

It’s the first time a farm is used as a story in the format of a soap or telenovela.

Filming started in January 2024, and are recorded on a working farm, not in a studio.

The series is based on the wheeling's and dealings of the community that lives on Soebatskloof and focuses on three intertwined families: the Abrahams, Syster and Marais households. These families will have to stand together, agree (or agree to disagree), and work together to earn their bread and butter – and a glass of wine!
