THE SWARTLAND REVOLUTION:
Over the past 15 years the Swartland region has grown in stature and complexity and today there are enough contrasting wines to showcase this diversity over a weekend.
The aim of the revolutionary weekend is to raise general awareness of the area, and although there might be stylistic and philosophical differences in the wines to be showcased, they all share a common sense of place – as with all great wine regions of the world.
The second revolution took place in the town of Riebeek Kasteel is over weekend of the 11 & 12th of November 2011. The date for the third event is set for 9 & 10 November 2012.
Ticket sales for 2012 will open in March 2012.
The 2011 programme can be viewed here.
