The crisp, lively zestiness of Sauvignon blanc is synonymous with the Durbanville area so join Durbanville Hills Wines at the annual Durbanville Wine Valley’s Season of Sauvignon on 5 and 6 October in celebrating this wonderful cultivar.

The festival is dedicated to all things Sauvignon blanc, and includes tastings of Durbanville Hills’ flagship range as well as Sauvignon blancs from all the wine producers in the Durbanville area. On both the Saturday and Sunday you can take part in an interactive sensory tasting where you can discover for yourself how sweet, sour, bitter and savoury flavours change the taste profile of a Sauvignon blanc. Entertainment for the kids, live music and food from a number of stalls will be on offer as well as picnic baskets and charcuterie platters. The Eatery restaurant will also be open for breakfast and lunch.

Date: Saturday, 5, and Sunday, 6 October
Time: 10.00 – 17.00 (Saturday and Sunday)
Sensory tastings on both days start at 11.00
Cost: Entry is free. Wine tasting which includes a crystal glass, costs at R50 per person. Sensory tasting experience at R60 per person

Booking is essential for picnic baskets, breakfast and lunch at The Eatery as well the sensory tasting. To book or for more information contact Simone Brown on 021 5581300 or send an email to [email protected]
