A mere 20 minutes drive from Cape Town, this wine route is fast becoming Cape Town’s destination of choice with its scenic vineyards, award-winning wines and friendly atmosphere.
The festival will once again
include the participation of 12 prestigious wine farms, offering a wide variety
of festivities. Altydgedacht, Bloemendal, D’Aria, Diemersdal, De Grendel,
Durbanville Hills, Hillcrest, Klein Roosboom, Meerendal, Nitida, Groot
Phizantekraal and Signal Gun will each be celebrating the start of white wine
season in their own individual style. This truly unique and festive experience
has led to the Season of Sauvignon festival once again being nominated for a
Klink award in the ‘Crowd Pleaser’ category for best wine route event.
The festival is the perfect
opportunity for friends and families to gather and enjoy the Valley’s renowned
wines, a variety of delicious gourmet food and live music. Supervised
children’s activities at each farm will ensure that the little ones are safe
and entertained.
The Durbanville Valley tasting,
which features all of the Valley’s excellent 2015 Sauvignon Blanc’s, will be
available at each of the participating wineries. This has always been a
festival favourite and gives festival goers the chance to enjoy the different
styles of Sauvignon Blanc produced in the Valley. The Durbanville winemakers
are united in their passion to reflect the Durbanville terroir in all their
wines. The result is a magnificent range of intense, fruit-driven yet elegant
wines, as different from each other as the slopes that create them and the
individual personalities who craft them.
On offer this year is the
opportunity to be amongst the first to taste and purchase the Durbanville
Twelve Sauvignon Blanc 2015. This wine is produced by the Durbanville Wine
Valley from a ton of grapes from each of the 12 farms and is an expression of
the Valleys signature varietal Sauvignon Blanc. The wine will be available
during the Season of Sauvignon and afterwards for sale from each of the
participating wineries.
A detailed festival program and
information on ticket sales will be available on www.durbanvillewine.co.za from 20 August.
