Wine Tasting 3 Ways

Not every wine trip looks the same - which one sounds most like you?
1️⃣ The Leisure Seeker
You’re all about slow afternoons and good company. Grab a glass at The Taste at Manley at Manley Wine Estate, linger over lunch, then wander to Saronsberg Cellar for a cheese board and more wine with the mountains in the background.
2️⃣ The Adventurer
Lace up your hiking boots and join one of Oudekloof Wine Estate wine walks through the vineyards. Fresh air, dusty shoes, and a chilled glass at the end - the perfect reward.
3️⃣ The Curious Collector
You want stories with your sips. Taste Swanepoel wines at Oude Compagnies, pop into Blue Crane Vineyards, and maybe even chat with the winemakers themselves. These are the bottles you’ll be telling your friends about later.

Sometimes the best part of a getaway is the hour you spend doing nothing, except letting someone else take care of you.
At the Trident Health Centre at The Tulbagh Hotel, your therapist will work away every knot with a deep tissue or hot stone massage, refresh your skin with a Vitamin C facial, or treat you to a gel manicure or medi-heel pedicure.
Whether you’re here to melt away tension, revive your skin, or simply gift yourself an hour of peace, Tulbagh’s spas are ready for you.
Get in touch with Tulbagh Tourism and we’ll help you make wellness the highlight of your trip.

The weather couldn’t have been more perfect. The skies stayed clear, the valley sparkled, and just when we thought it couldn’t get more magical, a rainbow appeared over the town. It felt like Tulbagh itself was celebrating.
A heartfelt thanks to every traveller and local who came to share in the magic, and to the artisans, restaurateurs, winemakers, musicians, vendors, accommodation hosts and activity providers who brought their passion to life. From the Electric Light Farmers Parade to the craft market, from live performances to festive food, cosy stays and unforgettable experiences, every part of the weekend was made brighter because of you.
Tulbagh was alive with joy and connection, and it’s all thanks to you.
Already thinking about 2026? So are we. Next year’s Christmas in Winter will take place on 26, 27 & 28 June 2026 - and yes, accommodation enquiries have already begun!
