I've been a visitor to the Cederberg since 1982. I'm passionate about this area and its people, who live a fascinating lifestyle, many off the grid. I'm privileged to be called a friend, a virtual 'member of the family' by some of the people. This blog is my personal record of more than 35 years visiting this fantastic, rugged and mountainous region of the Western Cape, South Africa. The photo above shows the house that C Louis Leipoldt's family occupied. Now used as guest accommodation.

Cederberg's fabulous Shiraz festival

The pictures below testify to a fabulous time at Franck Dangereux's Foodbarn Restaurant on 17 August, where guests were enthralled by the narrative of Cederberg Wines and its exclusive Shiraz Story. It was truly great to be there as a Foodbarn patron and long time visitor to Dwarsrivier, the home of Cederberg Wines.

So what's the Shiraz Festival?
