Event Details

*This is a limited preview of the festival for people who cannot attend on the weekend. There will be plenty of food & wine but no live entertainment. __________________________________________________________________________ The South African Food & Wine Festival is hosted by Grayhaven, a boutique farm winery located in Gum Spring, Virginia – just 30 minutes west of Richmond, 2 hours south of Washington D.C.. After years of planning, Grayhaven and the Abrams/Peple family launched the first South African Food & Wine Festival in the U.S. in 2006. The idea was to introduce visitors to the unique cuisine, wine, food, music and culture of South Africa through a three-day festival held outdoors on the winery grounds. What started as a modest local festival has grown into a successful grass-roots cultural event attended by thousands of visitors from Nova Scotia to California to Florida, and of course Virginia. Grayhaven and the Peple/Abrams family, along with over 150 SA Festival volunteers, invite you to experience a taste of South Africa at the 4th annual South African Food & Wine Festival.
