ABOUT THE HELDERBERG FRESH FESTIVAL

Sister event to Constantia’s favourite garden party, Constantia Fresh. This popular annual fine wine and food festival is hosted in the Heart of the Helderberg.

Your festival ticket includes a wine tasting glass, tasting of over 200 wines, as well as the gastronomic extravaganza of offer . Live music will be part of the afternoon’s entertainment.

The country’s freshest wines are grouped together stylistically so as to allow visitors to better experience the wide range of vinous flavours whilst local chefs serve fresh and vibrant food to accompany the wines. 

Coffee, local craft beer and gin are also on offer throughout the day, whilst live music will entertain and soothe the soul.
