Paarl Ommiberg Round the Rock

On Saturday 10 March, with activities at their peak, the Paarl winemakers will open doors to celebrate nature's offerings.  OmmiBerg 'Round the Rock festival 2012 is a full day out for the family, with mums and dads previewing young, unfiltered wines while the kids are entertained with a wealth of activities.

Visitors will be given a glimpse into working wineries; picking their own grapes, taking tractor rides, stomping grapes and seeing how a grape press works.  Adding to the excitement will be jumping castles, slippery slides, pony rides and a ride on the famous goat's wagon.

Parents can test their winemaking skills by creating their own blend, pairing the young unfiltered wines with traditional onion tart - a custom rooted in Germany and adapted by OmmiBerg. 

With 12 cellars taking part there'll be no shortage of activities.  Entry and most entertainment for kids will be offered for free, while a nominal over-18s fee of R60 will buy wine tastings (young wine only) and a commemorative glass.  Food and non-alcoholic drinks will be available for sale, while a shuttle service will run between participating farms. 

Tickets can be bought through Computicket.co.za
