Come and experience why this award-winning festival deserves its most recent accolade as the Cape Winelands’ “Festival of the Year”! Discover the biggest variety of local and international cheeses, explore exciting taste combinations, browse and buy the finest niche produce, and enjoy a relaxing day out with family and friends.

The festival programme includes food theatres with tastings and presentations, live music, as well as fun activities such as the daily Ladismith Cheese carving competition. The festival times are from 10:00 to 18:00 daily. Sandringham is conveniently located next to the N1, Stellenbosch turn-off (exit 39), between Cape Town and Paarl.

Tickets cost R180 per person per day. Senior citizens pay R120 and children from 2 to 13 years R20. Tickets are available from Computicket, Shoprite and Checkers. No tickets will be sold at the gates. Cheese lovers who prefer a more exclusive experience can book for the Connoisseurs’ Experience for which only a limited number of tickets are available.
