It’s finally that time of year when we can put on our out-of-office, kick back and relax…at last! And while there is much excitement about going on holiday or taking a break, there are also the stressful things to consider like what clothes to pack, how many books to put in and most importantly, how much wine to take along. Heaven forbid you run out while on holiday with the in-laws!

To help speed up your packing, the Hillcrest team have been working hard lately to make sure that their award-winning wines are more readily available at more convenient locations. Please visit our website www.hillcrestfarm.co.za to find your closest stockist.

If you’re a little unsure about which wines to pack, you can never go wrong with Hillcrest’s Sauvignon Blanc 2011 for a summer’s day and the Metamorphic Range will offer you some of the finest and highest award-winning wines in South Africa.

If you’re doing a “staycation” (i.e. you’re not going anywhere this festive season) make sure you use the time to visit the treasures that are on your doorstep. Plan a trip to Hillcrest Farm where there are walking trails, mountain bike routes, fishing in the dam, a fantastic cellar to taste wines, enjoy our olives and end off the outing with a meal and a bottle of wine at our restaurant.

We wish all of you a very happy and safe festive season and look forward to welcoming you to Hillcrest in the coming weeks.  Continue Reading
