RMB Simonsberg Wine Festival Returns to the Cape Winelands

Mark your calendar for 28 February – 1 March 2026, when one of the Cape Winelands’ most anticipated lifestyle events returns to the slopes of the Simonsberg mountains. Set against the dramatic backdrop of the Simonsberg, the RMB Simonsberg Wine Festival brings together some of South Africa’s most respected wine estates for two days of exceptional wines, elevated food experiences and live music – all in one beautifully curated setting.

RMB Simonsberg Wine Festival – A Showcase of Iconic Wine Estates

Renowned producers including Tokara, Plaisir and Thelema, alongside a curated selection of leading Simonsberg wine farms, will present a diverse range of styles and vintages.

From structured reds and elegant whites to limited releases and cellar favourites, the festival offers a rare opportunity to explore multiple world-class wines in one setting. Whether you are a seasoned collector or a curious wine lover deepening your appreciation, this is a weekend designed for discovery.

Wine, Food & Music – Perfectly Paired

At its heart, the festival is about indulgence at your own pace. Thoughtfully curated food offerings are designed to complement the wines on show, encouraging guests to experiment with pairings and flavour combinations throughout the day.

Live music adds to the atmosphere – vibrant, yet relaxed – creating the perfect setting for lingering tastings, meaningful conversations and immersive sensory moments.

Winemakers and knowledgeable estate teams will be on hand to share the stories behind the bottles, offering insights into terroir, craftsmanship and the character that defines the Simonsberg region.
