Each of the eighteen participating
wineries will offer a unique programme, allowing patrons to tailor-make their
experience according to their own personal preferences, whilst enjoying a
welcome alternative to the hustle and bustle of city life.
Award winning wines, a delectable
culinary experience, a plethora of outdoor activities, live entertainment and
natural scenic wonders will ensure that visitors, young and old, enjoy a
memorable time in this hospitable valley.
Noted as the coolest wine growing
region in South Africa with its high altitude and climate conditions which
allow grapes to ripen slowly - requiring a little more patience - but resulting
in wines with character defined by excellent purity, distinct minerality,
density of fruit and an elegance which can only be described as bottled poetry.
