Description

We heard it on the grapevine – sweeten up with Hanepoot grapes and wines with bling

During the months of February and March, De Krans Wine Cellar, situated in the quaint little town of Calitzdorp alongside the well known Route 62, will once again offer visitors to the area the opportunity to pick deliciously sweet Hanepoot grapes. This fun-filled picking experience will take place from 8 February to 3 March 2012, and will be made available every day (except Sundays) from 08:00 until 16:00.

Grapes cost R4.90/kg and visitors are welcome to bring their own containers. Alternatively containers can be purchased at De Krans at a minimal cost.

Picking grapes can lead to visitors working up a hefty appetite, and to cater for this need Vygieshof Home for the Aged will be offering delicious braaivleis meals on Wednesdays and Saturdays, between 11:00 and 14:00. As these meals have proven to be extremely popular in the past, booking is essential.

Besides picking their own grapes, a visit to this award-winning cellar also affords visitors the opportunity to sample, at no extra cost, their range of 2011 award-winning wines. One of these being the De Krans Cape Tawny Port, a double gold medal winner at the 2011 Michelangelo International Wine Awards, the cellar being awarded Champion Private Wine Cellar at the 2011 Klein Karoo National Young Wine Show and more recently received a 5-star rating in the 2012 Platter's South African Wine Guide for the De Krans 2009 Cape Vintage Reserve Port.

For bookings and further enquiries contact Helet Viljoen or Bessie Swanepoel at the farm on 044 213 3314 or email them at dekrans@mweb.co.za
