Events in Paarl

Paarl is wine country at its most relaxed, with Cape Dutch farms, olive estates and mountain views around the Berg River valley. Weddings are the main event, held on wine farms along the Paarl Wine Route and in Franschhoek and Wellington, and many couples add a stretch tent or marquee for dancing and shelter. Harvest festivals, farm markets and corporate retreats follow the vineyard calendar, and Mbekweni and Dal Josafat hold community and church gatherings. Summer is hot and dry with a steady south-easter, winter wet and cold. Planners and hire companies work from Paarl itself, Klapmuts and the N1 corridor and deliver to farms across the winelands.
