Expect homemade, local dishes and traditional cuisines. Savour and indulge in farm style breakfasts and fresh, local produce, as well as some traditional family recipes. The day would not be complete without delectable food and wine pairings from citrus, fudge and truffle delights to boerewors, artisanal pastries and handcrafted cheeses.

The family regional market will take place on the Sunday, 6 August, where local wine, produce, arts, food, music and children’s activities will be on offer.
