Ok, be honest now. How often have you made holiday plans to stay in Worcester? We’ve driven straight through this historic Breede Valley town a few times, perhaps stopping for a takeaway lunch. Most people are more familiar with well-known winelands areas such as Stellenbosch and Franschhoek.
Also known as The Valley of Champions, you may think that this seemingly sleepy region of the Western Cape doesn’t have much to offer, but it’s time to think again. The Worcester Wine & Olive Route is seriously overlooked as a holiday destination. I’ll be sharing just some of the fantastic places there are to eat, sleep, play and explore. I have no doubt there are more than ten reasons to visit Worcester, but grab a cuppa and I’ll tell you about the experiences I enjoyed in this under-rated town and the surrounding area.
I was fortunate to be invited to the FIRST “Come Braai and Wine With Us” in association with Durbanville Hills, Chef Tjaart and WEBER. I had no idea what hubby and I were in for. Let’s just say that the evening was anything BUT your usual food and wine event.
Held at the beautifully located Lagoon Beach Hotel & Spa, Cape Town on 7 and 8 March 2018, we had the opportunity to cook our own meals in teams and enjoy a “Big Buffet Braai” towards the end of the evening, while sipping on delicious Durbanville Hills wines and taking in the glorious sunset views over the ocean and Table Mountain.
