Celebrate the start of the festive season and head off to Laborie Wine Farm on Friday evening, 9 December, for their annual Carols by Candlelight and Night Market. Situated in the heart of Paarl and surrounded by the majestic Drakenstein Mountains, with the Paarl Mountain as its backdrop, Laborie is regarded as one of the precious jewels in the Cape Winelands District.
Carols by Candlelight
Father Christmas will be on hand to entertain the little ones and spoil them with an abundance of sweets, and a beautifully decorated Christmas tree will twinkle along with the stars. Well known musician Derk ‘Fingers’ Blaisse, with the Cape Dutch Connection, will keep visitors entertained with traditional and new Christmas carols as they lay out their blankets and picnic baskets on the immaculate and sprawling gardens, and soak up the sights and sounds of Christmas.
The festivities will include the Laborie Lazy Days’ Night Market comprising a range of lifestyle stalls, including food and crafts as well as wonderfully traditional Christmas fare such as Glühwein and pork pies. The market offers patrons the opportunity to do their last minute festive shopping.
Night Market
The gates will open at 5pm, with the carols commencing at 7pm. Entrance fee is R50 for adults and R20 for children over 12 years of age. Booking is essential as seating is limited. Picnic hampers, excluded from the ticket price, can be pre-booked and cost R250 for adults (for two people sharing) and R75 for children. Although no alcohol will be allowed onto the property, visitors will be able to purchase wines and Laborie MCC, at cellar door prices, directly from the farm.
