This vibrant, well-organised Festival takes place annually in the heart of the Waterfront. Visitors can, in one evening, at a single, secure and convenient venue, tour all the major wine routes of the Western Cape!

The Cape Times V&A Waterfront Wine Festival - now in its 15th year - represents the entire spectrum of Cape wine producers, from top-notch estates to superb boutique wineries. This year, the Festival is hosting more than 75 of the Cape's finest wineries, including leading producers like: Boplaas, De Wetshof, Diemersfontein, Groote Post, Kaapzicht, Jean Daneel, Klein Constantia, Môreson, Steenberg, Villiera and Warwick.

To further enhance this special wine experience, there will be a wide variety of gourmet delicacies to enjoy with the wines. Wineries will be offering delicious pairings of wine and food. Guests will also be able to taste and/or buy boutique cheeses, oysters, sushi, Thai noodles, organic products, olive oils, pestos, sauces, dressings, condiments, chocolates, nougat and much more.

Perhaps the most memorable feature of this Festival is its intimate and friendly ambience. After an enjoyable tasting, wine lovers can pop out of the marquee and have a bite to eat at any of the many Waterfront restaurants which are conveniently located within strolling distance, some of which will be offering special Wine Festival dinners over the period.
