Pinotage On Tap has come to Clarens! The wine fesitival will be held at Clarens on 4 November 2017.

Join us for what has aptly become known as the Best Wine Event in the World! - Pinotage On Tap is brought to you by Diemersfontein Wines - Home of the Original Coffee & Chocolate Pinotage! It was in honor of the fans as well as the popularity of this Pinotage that the first Pinotage On Tap festival was held, some 13 years ago, and has been held every year since. (Hosted nationally in Cape Town, Durban and Joburg - and this year in a few more places!) You only have to judge by the cult-like following of this party that if you have any appreciation for superb wine, great music, splendid food and company, (and especially a combination thereof) then this is something you definitely do not want to miss!

Tickets are R295 per person and include the (ever-so-enjoyed) goodie bag on arrival, Pinotage wine flowing abundantly from the barrel taps, popular local live music bands and the best wine festival experience you will ever have!

Mont Rouge, award winning guest house, is a hop, skip and a jump from the event. The Guest House offers affordable, comfortable self catering accommodation with stunning mountain views!
