Eikendal Weintaufe 2012 Toasts 31 Years of Winemaking
 
Popular Harvest Celebration a feast of family fun
 
Don a festive attitude and head out to the Stellenbosch Winelands when Eikendal Estate pays homage to 31 years of quality winemaking with its popular Weintaufe Harvest Celebration on Sunday, 4 March 2012.

What started out as an intimate ceremonial blessing to celebrate the end of the harvest at Eikendal more than 3 decades, has evolved into a not-to-be-missed highlight on the social calendar, attracting a vibrant crowd of families and friends each year.

Eikendal Winemaker Nico Grobler It is as much your ticket to a host of leisure activities for young and old, as your passport to an up-close encounter with prized wine in the making. Eikendal is known for its acclaimed Chardonnay and superb flagship reds and visitors will get to taste the cellar’s first wine of the 2012 harvest – the flagship Chardonnay– straight from the barrel, after the baptism of this new wine as part of the festivities.

Bring your picnic blanket and claim your spot at the water’s edge for the perfect ending to your weekend with Eikendal wine tastings, live music entertainment, craft stalls, lucky draws, vineyard tractor rides, fly fishing, barrel stomping, pony rides and loads of kiddies entertainment to set a merry mood.

Delicious food and wine will be on sale so why not swap the Sunday roast for a sublime afternoon on the lawn in the great company of Eikendal.
Entrance to the Eikendal Weintaufe 2012 is R60 per person and includes a complimentary glass and barrel tasting for adults, whilst children under the age of 12 get in for Free.

Tickets will be available at Eikendal prior to the event or at the gates on the day. The event starts at 10h00 with the official baptism and tasting of the new Eikendal wine at 12h00.
