We’re delighted to continue our beloved tradition of Family & Fine Wine Feasts in 2026 at Hasher Family Wines. These quarterly gatherings have become a highlight in the Upper Hemel-en-Aarde Valley calendar, bringing together families who appreciate both exceptional cuisine and quality time spent in beautiful surroundings.
What Makes Our Feasts Special
Our Family & Fine Wine Feasts are more than just dining experiences – they’re celebrations of togetherness where adults can savour exceptional wines whilst children enjoy themselves in a welcoming environment. We’ve created a space where sophisticated tastes meet family-friendly atmosphere, proving that fine dining and family time can go hand in hand beautifully.
Each feast is thoughtfully crafted to create memorable experiences for guests of all ages. Whilst parents indulge in our award-winning wines and gourmet cuisine, children are welcomed into the Hasher family spirit with activities and special treats designed just for them. The Upper Hemel-en-Aarde Valley provides a stunning backdrop for these gatherings, where the natural beauty of our surroundings enhances every moment of your dining experience.
Planning for 2026
International Women’s day – Sunday, 8th of March 2026
This International Women’s Day, we’re celebrating our all-female cellar team with a sensory retreat focused on aroma and scent. The morning begins with aromatic yoga followed by a guided wine tasting. After a nourishing lunch crafted by a local female chef showcasing seasonal ingredients from our valley, you’ll participate in a hands-on fynbos perfume workshop using indigenous botanicals. It’s an opportunity to slow down, savour, and celebrate the women who make our wine community thrive.
Autumn Harvest Celebration – Saturday, 18th of April 2026
Join us as we celebrate the culmination of harvest season – that wonderful moment when all the grapes are safely in and the estate fills with a special energy of relief and anticipation. Share in our joy as we toast to a successful vintage whilst enjoying seasonal delicacies that perfectly complement our wines. As a unique highlight, you’ll have the rare opportunity to taste the fresh wines from this very vintage straight from the cellar, experiencing them at their most vibrant and youthful. It’s a chance to be part of the winemaking story from the very beginning, witnessing the transformation from grape to glass.
Winter Family and Fine Wine Feast – Saturday, 13th of June 2026
As the cooler months settle over the valley, we invite you to join us for a cosy celebration in our cellar, warmed by candlelight and the company of loved ones. This winter gathering brings together the whole family for an evening of comfort and connection, with entertainment that delights both young and old. It’s the perfect way to embrace the quieter rhythm of winter and share in the warmth of our wine community during the season of rest and reflection on the estate.
Spring Family and Fine Wine Feast – Saturday, 26th of September 2026
Join us as we welcome the arrival of spring with a traditional South African braai, perfectly timed to celebrate Heritage Day. As the valley bursts back to life with wildflowers and new growth, we gather to honour our adopted home’s rich culinary traditions and the vibrant season of renewal on the estate. Enjoy classic braai fare alongside our wines, with the whole family welcome to celebrate the warmth and conviviality that defines South African heritage. It’s a joyful occasion to mark the turning of the seasons and share in the spirit of togetherness that makes both spring and Heritage Day so special.
