Tulbagh celebrates the midwinter solstice!  The village is bright with lights and Christmas trees; Father Christmas rides through the streets giving out treats for the children.  The restaurants offer traditional Christmas fare and stalls stud Church Street.  Take a scenic drive through our Valley where the various wine estates enter into the Christmas spirit.  Entertainment is offered at various venues including the Saronsberg Theatre or Rock with Santa ‘till dawn…

Christmas once again comes early this year as Tulbagh dons its winter cape in the month of June and welcomes the rest of the country to join them for a weekend extravaganza of wonderful winter warmers.

Marvel at the array of Christmas trimmings and glittering lights, Father Christmas drives down historic Church Street and hands out treats to the many bright-eyed children, browse through the arts, crafts, photographic exhibitions, art galleries and quaint shops.  You’re bound to find something to start filling the Christmas stockings with.  Enjoy cheese, Belgian chocolate and olive tastings or join in the chilli eating and various other competitions happening.  Jumping castles face painting, pony rides, tractor trips are just some of the activities that will keep the little ones entertained. Enjoy a scenic outride on horseback and experience the beauty and tranquillity of nature or go on a Zipslide adventure further down the Valley.

A trip to the Tulbagh valley would be incomplete without a visit to our stunning wine estates.  Join the winemakers and their staff for wine tastings, cellar tours and a variety of activities which will be on offer.  Along the way you may even discover the age old art of sabrage …..

Enticing aromas will send you in search of our gastronomic wonders.  Join us for a cup of eggnog or a glass of glühwein to warm the cockles, enjoy roaring log fires, glittering Christmas trees, winter warmer lunches and traditional Christmas fare and dinners at our world-class restaurants and coffee shops.  If you need to catch up on that all important sports score, don’t fear, our Sports Bars are quite near!

The “Rock with Santa Party” on Saturday evening is not to be missed.  Jive to the sounds of live music, enjoy much merriment and of course good company!

Come rain, shine or (hopefully) snow, the secluded valley of Tulbagh promises you a festive celebration of Christmas in Winter ….
