HERITAGE DAY (24 September) is a public holiday on which all South Africans are invited to celebrate their cultural heritage and the diversity of our traditions, as the defining characteristics of a nation that belongs to all of its people.
Solms-Delta wine estate near Franschhoek is celebrating the holiday weekend with a choice of heritage experiences:
On Friday, Saturday and Sunday there will be tours of the Dik Delta Culinary Heritage Gardens at 09:00, 11:00, 13:00 and 15:00. Tickets cost R40.
On Friday and Sunday, experience Fyndraai restaurant’s new Heritage Menu, designed around the culinary heritage of the three main cultures that existed on this farm. Booking for this feast (R165) is essential - at least a day before (the restaurant is closed for a private function on Saturday).
Should you wish to combine the two, take a Dik Delta tour and then enjoy the Heritage Menu lunch at a cost of R200 per person, you will receive a free heritage newspaper. The normal Fyndraai menu (Cape food with a twist), is also available.
Visit the Museum van de Caab that records the complex and fascinating history of South Africa through the people who lived and worked on the farm.
A wine tasting – classical wines with a difference – will round off a perfect Heritage Day experience.
