The magical village of McGregor is holding it's annual Food and Wine [http://blog.accommodationhunter.co.za/mcgregor-country-food-wine-festival/] festival on Saturday 29th August 2009 from 10h30 - 17h30. This one-day event showcases the fine wines of the surrounding McGregor area as well as offering delicious country fare and produce from our beautiful valley, all at a one-stop venue. This is the most intimate of all wine and food Festivals in the Western Cape and many of the wineries show some of their wines for the first time at this Festival. Last year Lords Winery produced their first stunning Pinot Noir vintage and John Hargreaves showed his first Wolfdoring red blend under his Rusty's Red label. This year sees some of the wineries such as Tanagra offering fantastic discounts -one day only deals -on some of their wines. Tanagra is in the process of re-developing their winery and need the space for a new still where they plan to make a McGregor Grappa.
To quote Vanessa Clark from Wine Country writing about last years festival-
"What a fun day out! Best effort of the Festival goes to Kingsriver for their nicely planned food and wine pairing- red kidney bean and red wine soup, lamb curry and Mzansi Shiraz 06. My highlight was the pinot noir and shiraz from Lords Winery and the team even delivered wine to my B & B the next day. And McGregor wines offer a range of easy drinking affordable wines. It's well worth a visit"
