Cellar Rats 2010 Spring Wine Festival

The Cellar Rats 2010 Spring Wine Festival will be held at the "Old Mill", on the banks of the Magalies River, just north of Joburg. You will be able to taste some of SA's finest wines and the Woodland School will benefit. The event will be on Sunday, 5 September, 2010, from 11am to 3pm.

The emphasis is on tasting South Africa's best wines in a tranquil outdoor setting. To this end, more than 100 wine producers will present in excess of 600 wines.

Children's activities include a jumping castle, water slide, and supervised entertainment arranged by Happy Acres, including a snake display; sport activities; crab catching; animal and plant displays and more. There is a nominal fee of R10 per child.

Additional activities/rides will be available at an additional fee per ride.

Designated Drivers get in free.
