Annual Riebeek Valley Olive Festival in early May
The annual Riebeek Valley Olive Festival will take place on 5-6 May 2012 in the picturesque Swartland towns of Riebeek Kasteel and Riebeek West, offering a wide selection of olives, delicious olive oils, preserves, tapenades, as well a selection of olive-based beauty products.
A past winner of the West Coast Tourism Awards in the 'Tourism Event' category, the festival focuses its attention on the diversity of olives. Whilst in the area visitors are welcome to visit the wineries, where they will have the opportunity to sit in on tutored tastings or simply sample the wines at their leisure. Live entertainment at these establishments will ensure a relaxing experience.
Amongst the many new activities at this year's festival will be an Olive Emporium, a country fair, a fresh goods market as well as an Olive Martini bar.
An R80 passport, valid for the entire festival weekend allows you entry to the various wine farms, the town based marquees, a complimentary tasting glass and a free tasting of olives or wine. The value for money passports can be purchased online at www.webtickets.co.za or on the day at participating establishments as well as the two centralised marquees.
