Season of Sauvignon in the Durbanville Wine Valley

The Season of Sauvignon Festival will be held in the Durbanville Wine Valley from 24 to 25 October, 2015. A mere 20 minutes drive from Cape Town, this wine route is known for its scenic vineyards, award-winning wines and friendly atmosphere.

The festival will once again include the participation of 12 prestigious 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. Each winery has its own charm with superb entertainment for adults and children alike. This truly unique and festive experience has led to the Season of Sauvignon festival once again being nominated for a Klink award in the 'Crowd Pleaser' category for best wine route event.
