BEAUMONT OPEN GARDENS 2015 | 31 OCTOBER & 1, 7 & 8 NOVEMBER

31st October & 1st November 10am – 4pm 7th & 8th November 10am – 4pm

Spring has started with a bang. At Beaumont Family Wines we have been busy planting new pear and apple orchards as well as a new chenin blanc vineyard next to the Mill House.

This is by far the most exciting time for farming and a reminder that summer is just around the corner.

We invite you to share this glorious time of year with us by taking a walk through the farm or simply wandering through the gardens of vivid colours and perfumed flowers. Take a seat overlooking the dam and enjoy the exciting new dishes that the Zest ladies have created for these two weekends.

Our unique wines will naturally be available for tasting and Andy, our miller, will take you back in time with a guided tour through our historic mill.

Entry is free, but donations to our charity, the Bot River Senior Citizens Fund, are welcome.

A free detailed brochure with map is available from all major nurseries in the Western Cape. Alternatively, for a complete list of participating gardens in the Elgin, Bot River & Vyeboom areas visit the Elgin Open Gardens website. www.elginopengardens.co.za
