Christmas may be months away, but Simonsig is happily ignoring the calendar.
On Saturday, 25 July 2026, the Stellenbosch estate brings back its much-loved Vintage Day, once again wrapped in festive Christmas in July spirit for a celebration that blends nostalgia, exceptional wine, and a touch of midwinter merriment.
Running from 11:00 to 16:00, the event invites guests to spend a leisurely afternoon enjoying vintage wines, curated food offerings, and live entertainment in true Simonsig style.
- This year’s edition carries extra sparkle as the estate celebrates a special milestone: 55 years of Kaapse Vonkel, adding even more significance to an already anticipated occasion.
At R450 per person, Vintage Day offers wine enthusiasts the chance to explore aged wines in a setting designed for relaxed enjoyment rather than formal ceremony. The Christmas in July theme adds a playful touch, with guests encouraged to arrive wearing a pop of red or a little festive flair, proving that holiday spirit does not need to wait for December.
Set against the charm of Stellenbosch in winter, Simonsig’s Vintage Day promises the kind of gathering where great wine, good food, and cheerful company naturally come together. For those who appreciate a well-aged pour and an excuse to celebrate early, this is one diary entry worth circling in red. Secure tickets here!
