Avondale Wine Estate’s Open Gardens on 22 and 23 October will give visitors a unique opportunity to experience seven beautiful organic spring gardens on the estate.
The different gardens on view are the Avondale Wine Estate’s cellar gardens, the majestic private gardens of Ginny Grieve, Suzanne Grieve, Ruth Robertson and Julie Warren Codrington. Guests can also experience Avondale’s historic Cape Dutch buildings, view many mature trees, walk through the two working vegetable gardens that supply Avondale’s award winning restaurant, Faber, stroll over the meandering streams and experience the indigenous beds, rose gardens and meadow and watch the stately cows, ducks and chickens in their free range environment.
Finish your walk with a taste of organic and biodynamic wines at the wine cellar or book a meal at Faber, recently named the Best Garden Restaurant in Africa by the Haute Grandeur Global Excellence Awards.
Visitors are welcome to stroll around the Avondale Wine Estate’s farm gardens from 10:00 to 16:00 on both days. The guided garden walks start at 10:30 at the cellar. There will also be pony rides, tractor rides as well as plants for sale.
Entry fee is R50 for adults and children under 12 enter for free. Tickets available at the entrance. Regrettably no dogs or picnic baskets are allowed. All entrance fees will be donated to the Avondale Community Organisation, an NPO that provides a creche and playschool, ensuring a safe and caring environment for young children.
