SA Cheese Festival Special Events

The 19th anniversary of the popular South African Cheese Festival offers the perfect long weekend escape in 2020! Festivalgoers can look forward to a truly unique experience of cheese and more over the Freedom Day long weekend, from Saturday 25 April to Monday 27 April 2020, at Sandringham outside Stellenbosch.

Come and experience why this award-winning festival deserves its most recent accolade as one of Die Burger Readers’ Choice Top 3 Festivals. Discover the widest variety of local, international and artisanal cheeses, explore the brand-new #Winefest, #Foodfest, #Beerfest and #Ginoclock, and meet the makers of the finest niche products in the Cheese Emporium and the Cape Made Mall.

The SA Cheese Festival programme also includes tasting experiences in the Standard Bank Tasting Room, outdoor music concerts by Spoegwolf and other popular artists, and fun activities such as the Ladismith Cheese Carving Competition and the Laughing Cow Kiddies Corner. The festival times are from 10:00 to 18:00 daily. Sandringham is conveniently located next to the N1, Stellenbosch turn-off (exit 39), between Cape Town and Paarl.
