MAKE your way to The Manor at Nederburg in Paarl for some rest and relaxation this festive season. The winery’s laid-back Sunset Stoep Sessions, presented until April 2023, featuring local musicians and local flavour, provide an ideal late afternoon experience for the whole family.
Savour some of Nederburg’s fine wines with delicious snacks while listening to live music and watching the sun set over the vineyards and majestic Drakenstein mountains in the background. Bring the children along for them to enjoy the play area in the garden with games, jungle gyms and zip-lines, a tree house, swings and more. Lawn games for adults are also available. The live music performances begin at 3pm (until 6pm) on selected Saturdays in December and January. Join earlier for a complimentary drink.
