The 2020 harvest season has begun and, during this time the winemakers and their teams shift into full gear as they spend long days in the vineyards selecting only the best fruit to make world-class wines the region is known for. Last year Winter brought with it good rains and we remain positive that this year’s harvest will be bountiful.
It’s a brand-new year, and with it we welcome so many exciting things. New beginnings, making new memories as well as planning for the year ahead. Although the Franschhoek Wine Valley is regarded as one of South Africa’s foremost wine producing regions as well as the country’s Culinary Capital, we are also home to a variety of amazing offerings. Namely our lifestyle festivals. Allowing everyone to recover from the madness of the ‘silly season’, January is usually a breather from our busy events calendar, but then in February we take things up a notch with our popular Franschhoek Summer Wines.
