FEAST OF THE GRAPE
Durbanville Wine Valley

The French celebrate the Fêtes des Vendanges; the Italians their Festa dell’uva, while in the lush
Durbanville valley the winemakers celebrate the fruits of their labour with the annual Feast of the Grape. Hosted on twelve wine farms and falling on Human Rights Day, the event marks the end of the grape harvest and the arrival of autumn with a one-day feast filled with grape gastronomy, country fare, live music, squishy grape-stomping, hay rides in the vineyards and, yes, plenty of seasonal wines to sip. We will not be able to visit all estates in one day, and will therefore select 4 or 5 of the total which we feel offer the best activities on the day.

The Feast of the Grape takes place in the Durbanville Wine Valley, Cape Town on Human Rights Day, 21st March 2012. It is an annual event and is well supported by locals and visitors alike. The festival celebrates the end of the grape harvest and the beginning of autumn. The day is filled with fun and laughter for the whole family. Come and celebrate with the locals, taste the superb wines, tour the cellars, stomp grapes, enjoy delicious foods and swing to the live music. It is a great way to enjoy the day and relax with great company.
