COMPETITION DETAILS AT THE BOTTOM

The annual Vaal River Meander Wine Meander boasts a unique aspect to it which discerns it from all the other Wine Routes in South Africa, namely the record number of ways in which you can visit this annual winter treat. Be it by car, luxury cruiser, limousine, helicopter, speedboat, vintage car, houseboat, donkey cart or tour bus  this Wine Meander has something for everyone.

Wine lovers might just want to enjoy a casual meander in their own car past the dozen wine venues on and around the banks of the Vaal River  or you could do it electing to use any of the many transport options available to you. In its 9th year of existence, this pleasant winter outing has grown in popularity over the years due to it's well priced structure (R20.00 for tastings of at least 8 different wines) and its close proximity to Johannesburg
(45-minutes), and good highway access, where one finds oneself in a country environment with a holiday feeling.

Every winter a dozen or so Vaal venues each align themselves with the best South African Wine Estates and for those 6 weeks each become a mini Wine Estate  representing wines from those Estates and immersing themselves in treating guests to an experience of fine wine tasting.   

If you are wanting to organize a corporate or private outing during these months there are a number of packages that can be choose between, they will even tailor a package for your individual needs.
