Roll out the barrel for Bastille Festival
Wine lovers, are you ready to don your red, white, and blue? The Franschhoek Bastille Festival returns this winter, bringing French flair, fine wine, and festive vibes to the Cape Winelands on Saturday, 12th and Sunday, 13th July 2025. This is the 33rd edition of the much-loved winter festival, and this year it will be held in a brand-new location in the heart of the village. While the 2024 festival (which was delayed by stormy weather) took place on the Franschhoek High School rugby field, in 2025 festival-goers will head to the Hospice parking area, featuring a refreshed layout brimming with the region's fine wines and tasty bites set to a soundtrack of live entertainment. The two-day Bastille Festival features all the classics you've come to know and love: a wine and cheese experience with tastings from top local estates, artisanal food stalls, and the ever-popular best-dressed competition. Tickets cost R390 per person per day and include a souvenir wine glass and 10 tasting tokens. New for the 2025 festival is a series of wine experiences called Uncorked Exclusive : a more curated wine-tasting experience showcasing premium pours in an intimate setting for serious wine enthusiasts. These tastings cost extra (R120 per person) and feature the likes of Pasarene, Holden Manz, Babylonstoren, and more. Some, such as La Motte, are already sold out! Outside the main marquee, the village is set to buzz with Bastille energy. Church Street will transform into a pedestrian-friendly food fair, while Celebration Square will host street performers, live music, and open-air eateries.
