Shiraz country festival

Shiraz & Art 2009

Shiraz & Art 2009

During the weekend of 19th & 20th September, the Riebeek Valley will be presenting a Shiraz and Art Weekend to celebrate wonderful wines and fabulous art exhibitions in the cellars, restaurants, shops and galleries of the valley. The sunny, Swartland wine district, north of Cape Town, is known for producing beefy reds, especially pinotage and shiraz, not to mention award winning olive oil, which will inspire menus at the eateries, and outdoor markets will tempt with home-grown, organic foods.

This festival prides itself on ensuring that there will be no traffic jams, no loo queues, no stressed-out waiting staff, nor parking available only kilometers away. It sounds laid back and delightful. What a great chance to discover the relatively unknown cellars and wines of the Swartland Wine Route.
