The Waterblommetjie, a unique indigenous delicacy only found in the Cape Boland, blooms to life in the spring. During this time, the Waterblommetjie Festival invites guests to experience these edible flowers in a range of dishes, often paired with wines, activities, and live music for the whole family.
The festival is collaborating with three wine estates - Rhebokskloof, Windmeul Kelder and Domaine Brahms - to provide a day of fine wines alongside authentic waterblommetjie meals and entertainment. Windmeul hosts the festival's most popular farmers' market and a lively potjiekos competition, while Rhebokskloof's offering focuses on guests indulging in their acclaimed wines. Domaine Brahms is the ideal destination for families, with a dedicated play park, a vintage car museum, family picnics, and a buffet brunch for all.
Athletes and fitness enthusiasts can kick off their waterblommetjie celebrations by joining the Run The Vines trail run, which offers 5km, 10km, and 17km races, and a 3km trail run for the kids. Bookings for each event are made separately.
