The first leg of the Diemersfontein Pinotage on Tap tour took place on Saturday 7th September at Oakfield Farm, Muldersdrift, Johannesburg. Diemersfontein also brought this event to Durban on the 21st of September while it’s coming to Cape Town on the 12 October 2013.
Guests that attended this year’s Johannesburg ‘Pinotage on Tap’ event experienced ‘prepped and primed’ barrels of Pinotage. The official Beer partner for the POT festival is the premium, craft slow beer from Darling Brewery. A range of lunch dishes and sweet treats were enjoyed, as well as some interesting food stalls in a market style environment. Guests were entertained by an exciting musical line-up, including Newton’s 2nd Law and Natasha Meister.

Diemersfontein is situated on the famous Wellington Wine Route in the Western Cape, teaming with traditional charms, and elegant beauty. Diemersfontein is known for its natural grace and of course – its Pinotage. Bought by the Sonnenberg family in the 1940’s, Diemersfontein is founded on the key-stone stately Manor House overlooking a picturesque valley of vineyards, a number of well-appointed guest cottages and approximately 45 residential properties which all make up this award-winning working wine estate.
Diemersfontein’s flag carrier “The people’s Pinotage”, known as The Original Coffee Chocolate Pinotage is praised for its easy accessibility, uniqueness, wonderful rich coffee taste, and smokey overtones. This unique style of Pinotage is a perfect accompaniment to grilled meats, venison and dark chocolate desserts, and is a firm favourite at the popular Pinotage on Tap events. Diemersfontein also offers a host of activities on the farm and its surrounds, which makes the Cape Town leg of the Pinotage on Tap events the perfect weekend getaway.
