Summary: Cavalli’s Sunset Sessions return to the Stellenbosch Winelands from October 2026 through March 2027, offering complimentary entry, live music, Cavalli wine and cheese or charcuterie platters. Guests can arrive from 15:00, with live music from 15:30 to 18:00. Sessions take place on the first Friday of each month, with January’s session on 8 January.
Friday afternoons have a rather appealing habit of improving once the working week is over, and Cavalli’s Sunset Sessions are designed to make the transition into the weekend even more enjoyable.
Returning from October 2026 through March 2027, the sessions invite guests to settle in at Cavalli, order a bottle of Cavalli wine, share a cheese or charcuterie platter and listen to live music as the afternoon gradually gives way to sunset.
There is no entrance fee, so the idea is refreshingly simple: arrive, relax, enjoy the food and wine offering, listen to some live music and stay as the light changes over the Helderberg.

- 4 December 2026: Warren Sayer
- 8 January 2027: Dani Ville
