Get ready for the Franschhoek Uncorked Festival on the 10th and 11th of October 2009 from 9AMto 5PM. In celebration of spring, local Franschhoek wineries, both big and small, will showcase their new releases on that weekend.
Most Franschhoek’s wineries participate in this festival and vineyard tours, barrel-tastings, a micro-brewery tasting, delicious food and wine pairings, art exhibitions, fresh goods markets and a fynbos trail all form part of the festival. Live music performances, with something to suit everyone, will also be on offer. Children are welcome and a number of kids’ activities will be on offer.

Afree shuttle service will ensure that passport holders get to and from the wineries without effort. Some of the showcased wineries include Dieu Donne, Franschhoek Vineyards, Glenwood, Graham Beck Wines, Grande Provence Estate, La Motte, La Petite Ferme, L’Ormarins (Anton Rupert Wines) , Môreson, Plaisir de Merle, Rickety Bridge Winery, and Vrede en Lust.
