Wellington Wine Harvest Festival

The grape escape


On Saturday 17th and Sunday 18th March 2012 Wellington dons its festive costume when this quaint Boland town which was named 2010 SA Terroir Top Wine Area celebrates the bounty of the harvest at the 6th Wine Harvest Festival. Spend the day or make sure you don’t miss any of the action and book in for the weekend for an extraordinary array of fun-filled activities for the whole family in the Cape Winelands. 

Cost R80 (kids under 18 enter free) promises a full weekend of fun and laughter and lip-smacking taste experiences for the whole family. Festival armbands and your entry ticket are available from all participating farms and the Wellington Information Office. 

There’s plenty to do; live music, fly fishing, canoeing, farmer’s markets, hikes,  wine tasting, kids events, tractor rides and loads more.

For more information, the full programme and a list of participating farms see the details below.
