A hands on (and feet) trip of winemaking from crushing grapes to designing labels
The town of Darling is nestled amongst the vineyards, wheat fields and nature reserves with a character all of its own. Home to some magnificent wine estates and farms including Darling Cellars where the Darling Crush Day will be held.
Here is the roll-out of your day:
- Have a Darling Breakfast including Darling Yoghurt, Darling Juice & Darling Water
- Go on a Bushvine Tractor Ride into the vineyard where you can hand-harvest perfect grapes
- Crush your grapes in foot stomping teams of two
- Design your own label in Wine Label Competition. The winning label will be applied to all the 2016 Crush Day wine which will be ready for collection within 8 – 10 months
- Enjoy a Lekker Lunch and Lamb on the Spit with all the trimmings
- Walk away with a Goodie Bag including a bottle of Darling Cellars wine and a unique Crush Day cap
In addition you’ll be able to enjoy wine tasting and sales, a live band and DJ, market stalls to purchase locally produced goodies (bring cash!) and lots of prizes up for grabs, including a prize for the best dressed team of 2.
As your designated driver we supply an air-conditioned, 12 seater mini-bus with a Venter trailer to transport purchased wine, market stall goodies and memorabilia safely back home.
We return to Cape Town with amazing photos and fond memories.
