It was such a hit last year, and we are really looking forward to the second edition of the much talked about Pinotage and Biltong Festival, which will be showcasing 18 of the countries top Pinotage producers at this event, taking place on the 13th and 14th of October!
The wineries are: Bellevue Wine Estate, Beyerskloof, De Krans, Ernst Gouws & Co, Flagstone Wines, Grande Provence, Hill & Dale, Jakkalsvlei, Koelenhof, Mellasat Vineyards, Mount Vernon, Neethlingshof, Perdeberg Cellar, Simonsvlei Winery, Taillard Wines, Van Loveren Family Vineyards Whalehaven and Wellington Wines.
The Festival will once again be hosted at Leriba Hotel in Centurion and will the same procedure as last year, namely seeing one wine from each winery being paired with a biltong flavour, but most of these producers also have other Pinotage’s which will be for tasting and for sale directly from their stands.
The festival concept offers visitors a Pinotage & Biltong Pairing Card & Tasting Map which takes participants on a fun “festival route” to discover new Pinotage styles paired with curated biltong and droë wors flavours, courtesy of Pretoria-based Billa B & Co Biltong Deli. Festival visitors all dress in purple and white and Leriba Hotel will offer eats at the festival venue as well as in their restaurants on site.
This is a stunning venue with rolling green lawns and a small lake, and is certainly worth the drive to Centurion!
