Swartland producers know how to throw a good party!

There is a tangible unpretentiousness in the Swartland area. I attended the Swartland Producers Street Party a few weeks back on one of the most memorable days in South Africa's recent history as the Springboks played England in the Rugby World Cup in Japan and won! The boys played like demons.  Of course the entire community and all the party-goers were glued to the respective television sets in the old brewery and the primary school, where the ''gees'' was at an all-time high!

What a wonderful display of individuality, terroir, talent, interesting labels and wines.

From Aspoestertjie to Schenkfontein to FRAM to Sadie Family Wines to Hofstraat and of course the wonderful crazy and delightful AA Badenhorst - made by Adi himself. To name but a few. Generous tastings were available all day in a very convivial and festive space.
