Our Season

October to March

Our season in the Cape Winelands runs October to March. The days are long and warm, and the light lingers over the mountains long after dinner is served. Our expert recommended travel timing is from October to November when the vines are heavy with fruit, and January through March as grapes change color and the excited buzz of harvest gets underway. While the year closes in at home, this is where it opens up.
