Stellenbosch Wine Festival 2010

This year is all about the Cape Wine Routes

One of the oldest wine festivals in the Cape, the 9th annual Stellenbosch Wine Festival takes on an exciting new format this year and will be held a month earlier to give soccer fans the opportunity to visit the myriad of cellars that make up the Stellenbosch Winelands.

From 1 – 5 July visitors will experience the Winelands in all their glory through an extensive network of shuttles between the farms participating in the Festival this year.

Park your car at any of the allocated Park-and-Ride areas or visit the Info Centre at Doornbosch to purchase your festival pass and catch a shuttle to the wine farms of your choice.

Participating farms are offering visitors wine tastings and untold activities, including the opportunity to rub shoulders with your favourite winemakers. With more than 140 wine farms in Stellenbosch and various Park-and-Ride areas, visitors will have a hard time deciding which cellar to visit next!

Enthusiastic soccer fans can also join in the wine extravaganza as transport to and from the Festival has been arranged from Cape Town. Visitors will also be able to travel to the wine farms using their own transport.

With a host of wine experiences, entertainment, participating restaurants and exclusive winemaker encounters galore, book your Stellenbosch Festival pass now!
