The Hof Country Christmas Market

Start your Christmas shopping early in the scenic Winelands town of Tulbagh


Avoid the manic mall rush this year and kick off your festive season shopping spree at Drostdy-Hof’s annual Christmas market and Country Day to be held at the historic De Oude Drostdy.

Enjoy a relaxing day in the country just over an hour’s drive from Cape Town and join the locals and visiting revellers as they fill up their Christmas stockings with homemade goodies including everything from confectionery and biltong to kids’ toys and jewellery.

Land van Waveren Art School will be exhibiting some of their work while a jumping castle will absorb the boundless energy of your kids and give you a chance to enjoy a relaxing glass of Drostdy-Hof wine under the umbrellas.

De Oude Drostdy is home to quality, palate friendly Drostdy-Hof wines with their rich heritage and pocket friendly appeal. Enjoy this perfect everyday summer sip while listening to laid back music, you will be able to taste and buy Drostdy-Hof wines on the day.
