The secret is out... It's time to turn up the flavour.
The Cederberg Shiraz Festival is back, introducing Shiraz and Spice – a celebration of bold Shiraz, vibrant spices and unforgettable flavour.
Join the Cederberg Wines team at one of the mobile festival's five events for an intimate evening where every glass is perfectly paired with spice-inspired cuisine, every flavour tells a story, and every moment is designed to celebrate the distinctive character of Shiraz. Enjoy carefully paired wines, seasonal dishes, and conversations with our winemakers.
In partnership with Pimp My Braai, every guest will also take home a signature spice blend to continue the experience long after the last glass.
The festival will be taking place in five cities:
- Durban
- Cape Town
- Upington
- Gqeberha
