Festival set to wow Witzenberg
The Cape Dutch Food & Wine Festival will ignite the Witzenberg region on the weekend of 28/29 March 2009 when it rolls out the welcome mat for masses of visitors arrive arriving to savour the very best of the town's culinary delights.
A celebration of Dutch culture and heritage, this colourful festival is set in the charming Cape Winelands town of Tulbagh against the backdrop of historic Church Street, where every single house is a national monument in vernacular Cape Dutch Style.
Our traditional Dutch and East Indian cuisine - stroopwafels, drop, poffertjies and mussel pots to name but a few of the delightful dishes - will revitalise the taste buds, our architectural routes will take you back in time, visit the farmer's market for organic vegetables and delectable homemade goodies, or kick off your shoes and relax in the beer garden, complete with live entertainment and a “Dutch Courage” party on the Saturday evening.
You will be able to enjoy a wide range of wines at the various estates and private cellars as well as numerous activities. There'll be lots for the kids too, so bring them along.
Entrance to the festival is R20, to be purchased at one's first “port-of-call” and is valid for both festival days. Children 12 and younger are free. For more details visit the Tulbagh Tourism website
