RUN INFO – 

DRESS UP IN SPRING COLOURS!



Bot River explodes with colour for 2017 Spring Weekend
 
Follow the rainbow for fanciful farm hopping and pantry shopping
 
Let the bluebird of happiness lead you over the rainbow when the annual Spring Weekend comes to the pretty little village of Bot River on 1-3 September, with a kaleidoscope of exciting wines, food, and genuine, country-style fun.
 
Just like the rainbow-theme it has adopted this year, the people of this Overberg town have lined up a dazzling spectrum of activities and fun that showcase the best of the region. In celebration of the awakening of nature in all its forms, all the participating wine farms will throw open their doors for visitors to taste their cellar gems and unique local produce through convivial farm hopping and pantry shopping.
