Magaliesburg Port and Sherry Festival  Cellar Rats- 2 June 2012

The Port & Sherry Festival is held in aid of the Woodland School and Happy Acres in Magaliesberg. It is an outdoor festival and is held on a large country estate in the countryside of Magaliesberg, approximately 40 minutes drive from Johannesburg. It is very pretty with lots of lawn, trees to sit under and a river to stroll along.

Our emphasis is on tasting South Africa's best ports, sherries, potstill brandies and dessert wines in a tranquil outdoor setting. This is a family festival, with supervised entertainment for children whilst the parents relax and enjoy the wines in the countryside.

It is a relaxing, fun family day and you can enjoy wine as it was meant to be enjoyed! Relax and enjoy the great outdoors! Jumping Castles & Supervised Entertainment for children will be available.

Designated Drivers
At our inaugural festival in 2001, Cellar Rats Wine Club introduced the policy that Designated Drivers get in free. To our knowledge we are still the only wine festival who offers this to our patrons.

Please Note
In support of the school fundraising, we regret no cooler boxes, picnic baskets or braais will be allowed in - Refreshments & food will be on sale. Blankets, chairs & sun umbrellas are welcome.
