Feel the need for speed? Wings Over Winelands is bringing a full day of aviation action to Vergelegen Wine Estate on Saturday, 16 May, pairing high-flying aerobatics with food, wine and family entertainment in one of the Cape’s most scenic Winelands settings.
Running from 8am to 3pm, this family-friendly event combines aerial displays with all the beautiful food, wine and estate-side hospitality you’d expect to find on one of the Cape’s most celebrated wine farms.
While gates open at 8am, the flying programme is expected to run from 10am to 3pm, with a line-up that includes the Marksman Aerobatic Display Team, the Raptors RV Display Team, the Aérospatiale Gazelle and the Aero L-29 Delfín jet display.
Across the day, spectators can expect a mix of precision aerobatics, formation flying and fast-jet performance, with aviation commentator Ian Fraser guiding the crowd through the aircraft, pilots and manoeuvres in the sky.
Back on terra firma, the event will also offer tastings of Vergelegen’s award-winning wines, gourmet food trucks, craft stalls and family-friendly entertainment across the Vergelegen estate.
If you have big plans to buzz the tower, best you get your ticket early.
