Harvest festivals in the Cape Winelands

Miles of smiles on the terroir 

Ah, now who doesn’t just love summer in Cape Town? Blue skies, factor 50 sun cream, beaches and, well, just general fun in the sun. So what to do in the beautiful Cape Town outdoors when it’s a pearler of a day?

During the summer months the Cape Winelands, famous world over for its remarkable wines, celebrates the coming of harvest time and all is good amongst the vines.

Celebrating these times of plenty, wine estates countrywide go all out with their events; live music, grape stomping, picnics on the lawn, wine tastings, gourmet to bistro dining, art exhibitions and an array of attractions made all that more attractive by the views. And attractive views they always are – the Western Cape's wine estates are by default draw droppingly beautiful. Something that we Capetonians would be loath to take for granted.

So go on and make the most of it, after all it’s also one of the best ways to see the countryside; to map out the vast nooks and crannies that lie between its highways and byways.
