This month we bring you news of Fyndraai’s new menu and the upcoming Cook Franschhoek. We also report back on Taste of Cape Town and our Delta Trap and Draf.

October is upon us and hopefully so is Summer! This month we release two new vintages and are proud to be the official Wine Tourism Destination of the Year! We are part of Cook Franschhoek and Shaun shares his Blue Cheese & Biltong recipe to pair with a World Cup Rugby 2011 game and some Cape Jazz Shiraz!  If you haven’t booked your year end function yet – think Solms-Delta. We have a new tent at Fyndraai for bigger events and our small lake and private picnic spots are perfect for summer parties!

For all its tranquillity Solms-Delta is not a sleepy place. On this happy Spring Day we have lots on the go, both on and off the farm – see What’s On for shows and festivals this month. We launch our Weddings and Events facility – ‘say I do amongst the vines’ – and celebrate Heritage Day all weekend (and all year)! Our highlight is that from now on if you order our wine online via our eShop there is no delivery fee – yip, to your door at no extra cost! Enjoy all this and more in our September news.
