100 Years of Sisterhood, Tradition, and Excellence
In 2026, Asterhof Ladies Residence celebrates an extraordinary milestone — 100 years of history, tradition, and sisterhood at the University of Pretoria. For a century, Asterhof has been more than a residence. It has been a home, a place of lifelong friendships, and a space where generations of remarkable women have grown, learned, and shaped the world around them. To celebrate this historic occasion, we invite alumni, students, families, and the wider UP community to join us for an unforgettable evening at the Asterhof Centenary Wine Tasting, Auction & Alumni Celebration.
This signature event brings together the elegance of a premium wine festival, the warmth of an alumni reunion, and the excitement of a live auction — all set within the historic grounds of Asterhof itself. Whether you are a proud former Aster, a current resident, a member of the UP community, or simply someone who appreciates fine wine, meaningful traditions, and great company, this celebration promises to be a truly special occasion. The event has been carefully curated as a multi-phase experience, allowing guests to explore the residence while enjoying food, wine, history, and connection. Each space within Asterhof will transform into a unique part of the celebration, creating a flowing and immersive experience for guests throughout the evening.
This event is more than just a festival or social gathering. It is a once-in-a-lifetime milestone celebration marking a century of Asterhof’s presence at the University of Pretoria.
For 100 years, Asterhof has fostered:
• Leadership
• Academic excellence
• Lifelong friendships
• A strong and supportive community
The evening brings together generations of women who have called Asterhof home, while also celebrating the future of the residence. Proceeds from the event will contribute to future residence improvements and initiatives, ensuring that Asterhof continues to inspire and support students for generations to come.
Whether you come for the wine, the memories, the music, or the friendships, the Asterhof Centenary Wine Tasting, Auction & Alumni Celebration promises an evening filled with joy, nostalgia, and celebration.
Come raise a glass to 100 years of Asterhof — and to the generations of Asters who continue to aim for the stars.
We look forward to welcoming you to this historic celebration.
Asterhof - vivamus et amamus. Let us live, let us love. A re nneng, a re rataneng.
Asterhof, ons hart vir jou!
