The Franschhoek Uncorked Festival, which takes place over the weekend of 16 and 17 September, is the perfect excuse to bid winter farewell and embrace the splendour of spring – as your taste buds are treated to superb wines from one of SA’s premier wine destinations.
Inspired Rosés, or lighter styled reds
Sample new releases wines as well as a handful of gems as you travel from farm to farm throughout the weekend. The Franschhoek Vignerons will pull out all the stops to ensure you have the most amazing wine experience. New release wines may include summer inspired Rosés, or lighter styled reds, whilst the gems are anyone’s guess.
Adding to the festivities, visitors will be kept entertained with activities on offer at participating wine farms. Ranging from live music, giant Jenga, or Spanish-inspired entertainment, there is guaranteed to be something for everyone.
Gourmet sit down meals
Wine tasting is bound to work up an appetite and here the farms have it all sorted out. Choices include gourmet sit down meals, or mouthwatering tapas style food – all guaranteed to please.
If you’re an out-of-towner, it makes sense to stay over in the valley – so choose from a wide selection of accommodation establishments in and around the valley to make your weekend much more memorable.
