Tally forth for Cool Wine and Country

20 Mar 2015

The harvest has ended; the vineyards are decked in their autumn finery and, just as the first vestiges of winter can be felt in the crisp air, Elgin Wine Valley opens its doors for the annual Elgin Cool Wine and Country Festival, to be held over 2-3 May 2015 from 9am to 5pm daily.

Each of the 18 participating wineries will offer a unique programme, allowing patrons to tailor-make their experience according to their own personal preferences, whilst enjoying a welcome alternative to the hustle and bustle of city life.

Award winning wines, a delectable culinary experience, a selection of outdoor activities, live entertainment and natural scenic wonders will ensure that visitors, young and old, have a memorable time in this hospitable valley.

Early bird entry tickets to the festival cost R100 pp (over 18s) and can be bought online from www.webtickets.co.za as of 23 March and include a tasting glass, festival programme, access to participating farms, live entertainment and wine tasting of a selection of three wines of your choice at any of the participating wine estates.

Tickets may also be purchased on the day at the Elgin Cool Wine & Country festival office at the Peregrine Farm Stall at R120 pp. Tasting glasses and guest passes must be collected at the festival office at Peregrine Farm Stall prior to visiting any of the farms. All children younger than 18 and accompanied by an adult may enter free.

A selection of wines will be available for purchase at cellar door prices on the day.

Guests are advised to pre-book activities and meals, as space is limited and payable separately. Please note that the festival promotes designated drivers and the responsible use of alcohol. No alcohol will be served to children under the age of 18 years.
