The Season of Sauvignon returns

The Season of Sauvignon Festival is back in the Durbanville Wine Valley from 24 to 25 October, 2015, and will once again include the participation of 12 wine farms, offering a wide variety of festivities. Altydgedacht, Bloemendal, D'Aria, Diemersdal, De Grendel, Durbanville Hills, Hillcrest, Klein Roosboom, Meerendal, Nitida, Groot Phizantekraal and Signal Gun will each be celebrating the start of white wine season in their own individual style.

The festival is an opportunity for friends and families to gather and enjoy the valley's renowned wines, a variety of gourmet food and live music. Supervised children's activities at each farm will ensure that the little ones are safe and entertained.

The Season of Sauvignon returns

The Durbanville Valley tasting, which features all of the valley's 2015 Sauvignon Blancs, will be available at each of the participating wineries. This gives festival-goers the chance to enjoy the different styles of Sauvignon Blanc produced in the valley. The Durbanville winemakers are united in their passion to reflect the Durbanville terroir in all their wines. The result is a magnificent range of intense, fruit-driven yet elegant wines, as different from each other as the slopes that create them and the individual personalities who craft them.

On offer this year is the opportunity to be amongst the first to taste and purchase the Durbanville Twelve Sauvignon Blanc 2015. This wine is produced by the Durbanville Wine Valley from a ton of grapes from each of the 12 farms and is an expression of the valley's signature varietal Sauvignon Blanc. The wine will be available during the Season of Sauvignon and afterwards for sale from each of the participating wineries.
