Experience The Vaal Wine Route
The Wine Route (open every weekend from noon to 6pm) is a laid-back way to savour the finest of South Africa's wine and a pleasant way to pass a lazy winter Saturday and Sunday. You can enjoy tastings of 8 different wines for just R80 per person. Every location along the Wine Route features a different wine estate. This means you can visit different locations and sample wines you've never heard of before. Along the way, you might even discover your "new favourite." This is a chance to enjoy the amazing wines that South Africa has to offer in a friendly setting.
Where Is The Wine Route Taking Place?
With an array of ways to enjoy this winter wine treat, Gauteng's most popular Wine Route stands out from others in South Africa. The Vaal River Meander Wine Route offers more ways to enjoy the experience than any other wine route, whether you choose to travel and savour by houseboat, luxury cruiser, water taxi, tour bus, your own vehicle, or a helicopter. The one thing that all of the various wine tasting locations have in common is that they all offer excellent South African wines, despite the fact that they are very different and provide contrasting experiences. You could choose a sophisticated hotel on the river where you can sip wine in style. Or in a quaint pub by a roaring fireplace.
What about taking in the scenery from a boathouse with a river view while sipping wine? How about a wine tasting treat for a picnic? At the Casino, you could also play Lady Luck. A luxury cruiser restaurant or a private wine tasting cruise for your group of friends or coworkers are further options.
Special weekend lodging packages are also available, which include enjoyable activities like Dinner Theatre in addition to delectable meals with wine pairings.
Businesses have a fantastic opportunity to treat their employees or clients to expensive wine tasting events, either with or without food pairing.
Every experience has a unique twist. Numerous packages are available if you would like to plan a private or business group outing during these eight weeks. Additionally, customised packages that are suited to your private, business, or individual needs can be created for you.
