Gauteng / Vaal region · Wine tasting and event trail

Discover the Vaal Wine Route

The Vaal Wine Route brings wine tasting close to home for Gauteng residents. Along the Vaal River, riverside lodges, restaurants and venues host tastings and events featuring wines from across South Africa.

Rather than a vineyard region, this is a social, venue-based trail. Consequently, it is perfect for enjoying a variety of wines in one place, often with food, live music and beautiful river views.

Why visit

  • Wine tastings within easy reach of Johannesburg
  • Riverside venues, boat cruises and sunset views
  • Regular tasting events and food pairings
  • A relaxed weekend escape from the city
