The most special time of the year in the wine industry has to be the annual harvest, a celebration of thanksgiving for nature’s incredible bounty. A cool way to be a part of the action is to join Nederburg for their “Harvest at Dusk Festival” At The Harvest at Dusk Festival, guests can experience the harvest first-hand, with the opportunity to sip, savour, snip and squash during the day.
Learn from their winemakers how the harvest is progressing, and taste newly harvested grapes and fresh grape must before it becomes wine. Then get yourself dirty by participating in the fun of picking and stomping fully ripened grapes.
After freshening up, guests will be treated to a bountiful harvest feast on the lawn in front of Nederburg’s historic manor house, with upbeat music entertainment provided by popular South African music group, Kaleidoskoop.
Johnny Hamman and Marius Uys of Slippery Spoon Kitchen will be serving up a harvest feast with creative flair, like never before. Much of it’s still a secret, but one could expect family-style table platters, laden with delicious fresh food including bountiful mezze, meats, salads and vegetables, as well as delectable desserts.
A wide selection of Nederburg wines, soft drinks, mineral waters, coffees and teas will be available to purchase.
Guests are advised to wear hats, sunscreen, comfortable clothing and shoes.
