Botriviera Spring Weekend – Drink Yourself PINK.

A fabulous weekend celebrating the advent of Spring and Rosé created by the Bot River winemakers targeted at the pink wine buying market.

Participating wine estates will celebrate Rosé by hosting an appropriately pink event with gastronomy, competitions, tastings, blendings, amusing activities and hilarious entertainment.

Participating wineries will be open on Saturday from 09:00 to 17:00 and on Sunday from 09:00 till 15:00 and will be landmarked by pink barrels at the entrance to each property.

Accommodation for the weekend will be provided by participating estates and guest farms – booking is essential. Guests have the option of taking a courtesy pink bus from venue to venue.

Entertainment varies from a polo match and fly fishing to pink paint ball games, with wine and olive oil tastings and blending, sumptuous meals, live music, pottery and art exhibitions. Guests are invited to carouse and cruise the night away on Saturday 4 September at a frothy pink party at the Bot River Hotel – tickets R80 !

Bot River is only 1.15h (one hour) from Cape Town so whether one is visiting for a day or spending the weekend on one of the participating estates the Botriviera Spring Weekend provides an opportunity to discover and explore this fascinating area, meet the merry winemakers and enjoy their splendidly pink wines
