I’ve always been rather proud of the fact that since I was a youngster and used to go fishing with my dad, I’ve always managed to catch at least something for the pan.
At that young age, the proud look on my dad’s face was enough of a reward. Today, I need a little more to get me to haul out the fishing tackle, put those wriggly worms on the end of the hook and spend the day fishing. Luckily, Hillcrest is the answer to any fisherman’s prays….
Who can deny the beauty of the Durbanville Winelands? Even better, who can deny the beauty of a big quarry, filled with carp, bass, trout and babel waiting to be caught while a cold bottle of Hillcrest Sauvignon Blanc chills in the cooler next to you? It makes for the perfect weekend outing, you can pack a picnic and take the family to relax and unwind next to the quarry. The children can run around on the grass while you either fish or indulge in what the Hillcrest Wine Estate does best: produce fantastic wines.
Hillcrest Estate is open from 9am-5pm and the costs are minimal for a day’s entertainment: R75 for fishing and R25 for picnics. The restaurant is open too, serving breakfast and lunch. The most important activity is of course wine tasting. For R10 you can taste all our wines as well as try our award winning olives & olive oils. This R10 will be waivered should you purchase any wine.
So even if you don’t manage to catch anything on the day, Hillcrest’s wines will more than dull the pain and are sure to make any fisherman’s tale grow even bigger.
