CEDERBERG SHIRAZ FESTIVAL – SECUNDA – Lake Umuzi Waterfront Secunda

It's wine o'clock

Chosen as one of the 10 venues across 8 provinces, Lake Umuzi invites you to enjoy an evening of dinner and dance as part of the Cederberg Shiraz Festival 2022. A wine experience curated by the Nieuwoudt family and the Cederberg Wine Making Team delivered to wine drinkers all over South Africa.

Join us in our new Glasshouse on the river at Boesies Function Venue for the 4^th installment of the annual Cederberg Shiraz Festival. A hearty 4-course meal, delectable Cederberg wines, and entertainment by Costa Nicholas are on the cards.

The Cederberg Shiraz Festival will be taking place from 17 to 27 August. For 10 wonderful days, we will be celebrating Shiraz at 10 different locations via a mobile festival that includes live demonstrations and a series of personally hosted wine-pairing dinners. We’re seeing red at the moment but not just any shade – the colour has a distinctly purplish hue!

Secunda loves wine. The many Secunda Guilds and the very popular Wednesday wine evenings hosted by the Wine Lady, Amanda Smith are a testimony to that.

The Secunda event will be on 20 August 2022 at 18h00 for 19h00, with canapés and a Cederberg Rosé on arrival. Tickets are R480 per person which includes a 4-course meal and a selected Cederberg wine with every course.
