Dekkersvlei Vineyards invites you to raise a glass to 101 years of Pinotage, South Africa’s proudly homegrown varietal on Saturday, 31 October 2026, from 11h00-17h00.
It’s the perfect excuse to escape the city, unwind in the vineyards, and sip your way through an unforgettable tasting experience at Dekkersvlei Vineyards, in Paarl.
Taste five Pinotage varietals
Your ticket unlocks five unique expressions of Pinotage MCC, followed by the crisp charm of our signature White Pinotage. Continue with the soft blush tones of our Rosé Pinotage, then move on to the depth and richness of a classic red Pinotage. To finish, indulge in the smooth, mocha-kissed notes of our Coffee Pinotage.
Each sip reveals the diversity and character that makes Pinotage so celebrated – and there’s no better place to experience it than the birthplace of the world’s first white Pinotage!
Tickets are R150 per person and are available online HERE.
Not just Pinotage
Dekkersvlei’s Pinotage Party isn’t just about wine – it’s about atmosphere. Settle into our vineyard lounge area, enjoy live local music, and pair your tastings with one of our artisanal cheeseboards or snack platters.
