Pinotage on tap
The echoes of Pinotage On Tap, held on the 11th of October, are still dancing through the vines as we enter the penultimate month of 2025... What a day it was! From the first pour to the final encore, guests revelled in everything that makes the event a true Diemersfontein favourite: fabulous food, flowing wine, good friends, and that unmistakable POT energy.
Thank you to everyone who joined us; you set the tone perfectly for celebrating 100 Years of Pinotage!
Pinotage on tap returns 2026 – A celebration of wine, music, and good times
Mark your calendars and raise your glasses, because Pinotage On Tap is back at Diemersfontein Wine Estate in Wellington on Saturday, 10 October 2026!
Pinotage On Tap in 2025, hosted for the first time since 2019, was an unforgettable success. We decided to take a family-friendly approach, using Barrel Pour Coupons to dispense the wines, which allowed us to welcome all generations to the festivities. Considering the variety of food vendors, various activities, and the lineup of live performances by world-class local musicians, it comes as no surprise that we had an immediate influx of enquiries asking us to confirm the date for next year…
And now that we’re back in the swing of things; Pinotage On Tap 2026, again hosted on International Pinotage Day, promises to be even better!
Whether you’re a long-time fan or new to the world of wine, Pinotage On Tap is the perfect way to connect with friends and family, and enjoying a day under the Wellington sun surrounded by vineyards, laughter, and the unmistakable aroma of good wine.
We’ve decided to reward our loyal POT fans by putting a ‘2025 Price Fix’ in place until the end of January. This means that you can secure your seat at Pinotage On Tap 2026, at the 2025 prices!
