Apricot Picking at De Krans in Calitzdorp

Celebrate summer and make your way to De Krans Wine Cellar in Calitzdorp for their annual apricot picking, which takes place from 23 November until 7 December this year. Visitors will be able to pick and sample deliciously sweet, juicy Bulida apricots at the farm, every day (except Sundays) from 08h00 until 16h00.

A cost of R3.90/kg will be charged for the apricots and visitors are welcome to bring their own containers. Alternatively containers can be purchased at De Krans at a nominal fee.

As part of their annual fundraising projects, the Vygieshof Home for the Aged will offer visitors a delicious braai on 23, 26 and 30 November, and then again on 3 and 7 December at De Krans. To avoid disappointment, as their meals are extremely popular, visitors are urged to book beforehand.

Situated in the picturesque Little Karoo town of Calitzdorp, De Krans is home to some of South Africa's award-winning ports. A 2010 winner at the Peter Schulz Port Challenge 2010 for its Cape Tawny Port, De Krans scooped the prestigious Top 100 SA Wines this year for the same port as well as its De Krans Cape Vintage Reserve Port 2008. Visitors to the farm are welcome to sample their wide range of popular ports and wines, especially the Pink Port, the first of its kind to be launched in South Africa.
