Nothing frosty about this fun family festival

Want a day in the country, where tranquillity reigns and wine abounds? Then mark your diary for Saturday 15 November when the wine ward of Voor Paardeberg dons its glad rags for its annual festival. The event takes place at the Visitors Centre on the David Frost Estate and promises activities for the entire family.

Now, in its second year, the “Voor Paardeberg Annual Wine Festival” gives the visitor a chance to mingle and chat with the eight passionate producers who cultivate this untamed landscape. Wines from Ayama, Bernheim Wines, David Frost Estate, Horse Mountain Wines, Oude Denneboom, Scali and Vondeling will all be on show.

Entry includes free wine tasting (choose from 46 wines) as well as an elegant crystal tasting glass. A blind tasting competition could see you winning a weekend for you and your partner in the winelands during the 2009 harvest. Apart from all the fun associated with wine tasting, the “En Primeur” wine tasting means that you can taste and reserve wines prior to release. There'll be live music, competitions, crafts, loads of activities for everyone, including the and for the kids and dads (or moms!) who reckon they can give Tiger a run for his money can have a go at showing off their putting skills and win fabulous prizes.
