About Groote Post Monthly Country Market
Visitors to the Cape West Coast that have booked quaint Darling accommodation or a spot in the nearby towns of Langebaan or Yzerfontein are set to enjoy all of the charm and natural beauty of this very special part of South Africa. And, on the last Sunday of every month, the Groote Post Monthly Country Market is added to the mix to create a vibrant hub for eating, drinking, shopping, and relaxing.
This market is hosted by the Groote Post Vineyards, just an hour's drive from Cape Town. Here, the ample terrace becomes the platform for a melting pot of delicious foods, world-class wines, and a variety of clothing, accessories, toys, arts and crafts. Hilda's Kitchen promises to take guests to the market on a culinary adventure, while some of the local wines have won awards for their delicious flavours and superior quality.
Other delicious treats include deli meats, olive oils, freshly-baked breads, cheeses, and even locally grown mushrooms. Each stall showcases something completely unique and undeniably tempting. All of the wines produced by Groote Post are available for tasting and purchasing; whether you'd just like to enjoy a glass or bottle at the market with friends, or take home a whole case.
Live entertainment keeps the fun vibe going all day. The shorter members of the family are also spoilt for choice at the Groote Post Market; thanks to tractor rides, horse rides, and rolling lawns that provide plenty of space for little ones to run and play. If you'd like to explore the area, you are also welcome to hop on the game vehicle and tour the farm and vineyards too.
Entrance to the market is free. It begins at 10h00 and ends at 15h00. From the farm, views of Table Mountain in the distance testify to how close Cape Town really is, making this a great option for a family day trip from the Mother City.
