Spring Weekend
Year of the Bull
Seize the bull by the horns and head for the Overberg
The bull takes center stage for this year’s Bot River Spring Weekend festivities hosted on 1 and 2 September by the region’s fun-loving and fancy-free wineries.
Food, wine, music and entertainment – for kiddies too – will be a-plenty at the event taking place on the first official weekend of Spring. But, wait! There’s plenty more happening around the Overberg hamlet’s famous, bull-tide bash.
