Durbanville prepares for the Feast of the Grape

Next year's Durbanville Wine Valley's Feast of the Grape will be a weekend of harvest fun, hosted by 12 wine farms in the valley, on 27 and 28 February, 2016, at D'Aria Wine Farm. The 12 farms are: Altydgedacht, Bloemendal, D'Aria, De Grendel, Diemersdal, Durbanville Hills, Groot Phesantekraal, Hillcrest, Klein Roosboom, Meerendal, Nitida, and Signal Gun.

"This year's festival will be very special as it brings all our member farms together on one wine farm, rather than each hosting its own separate harvest celebration," said Angela Fourie, marketing manager of the Durbanville Wine Valley Association. "With this we salute the region's great harvest traditions of the past, bringing together the community to celebrate the season's bounty."
