Cellar Rats 2008 Spring Wine Festival

Sun 7 Sept 08 11h00 - 15h00

It's time for Cellar Rats again!  This outdoor festival is held on a large country estate in the countryside - about a 40 minute drive from Jo'burg.  It's a magic day out - with over 480 wines from over 100 estates for the tasting - in the most tranquil setting ever: picnic lunches, loads of lawns, trees to sit under, a river to stroll along, supervised fun for the kids ...  

Designated Drivers
At our inaugural festival in 2001, Cellar Rats Wine Club introduced the policy that Designated Drivers get in free. To our knowledge we are still the only wine festival who offers this to our patrons.

Please Note
In support of the school fund-raising (Woodland Prep), we regret no cooler boxes, picnic baskets or braais will be allowed in - Refreshments & food will be on sale. Blankets, chairs & sun umbrellas are welcome.

Accommodation
Should festival goers wish to stay in Magaliesburg on the Saturday and / or Sunday evenings, The Valley Lodge, which is conveniently situated very close to the festival and who supports our "don't drink and drive" initiative has offered a 50% discount on accommodation for the duration of the weekend for those going to the Wine Festival.
