Winter’s chill is fading, and spring’s gentle warmth is here. Benguela Cove Lagoon Wine Estate is waking up, and it’s the perfect place to soak up the season’s fresh energy. With the Western Cape bursting with colour and the scenery getting even more beautiful, it’s a great time to visit, whether you’re after a peaceful getaway or a fun day out with friends and family.
Spring at Benguela Cove is all about reconnecting with nature and with each other. The estate, tucked inside the UNESCO-protected Kogelberg Biosphere, is a treat for the eyes as fynbos and wildflowers explode into life. You can jump on a guided vineyard safari to follow the grapes’ journey from “blossom to bottle” or just wander the property, taking in the wideopen views of the lagoon and ocean.
For those who want to toast the season with great wine and good food, Benguela Cove has plenty to offer. The Moody Lagoon restaurant provides a stunning backdrop for brunch, lunch, or a family feast that tastes like home. You can also try a variety of wine-tasting experiences and food pairings, from a classic charcuterie board to gourmet chocolate or fresh oysters, all perfectly matched with the estate’s award-winning wines.
The vibrant energy of spring at Benguela Cove peaks with the upcoming Oktoberfest celebration on Saturday, October 4, 2025. Get your stein ready to say “Prost!” as the estate kicks off the summer season with this massive, family-friendly event. The day will feature a live Oompah Band, a dynamic DJ, a Bavarian market, and a traditional German feast with bratwurst, pretzels, and apple strudel, all great with local craft beers and the estate’s fantastic wines.
What really makes this Oktoberfest special is its focus on family fun. Besides the main event, guests can enjoy a variety of activities at the on-site Benguela Adventure Park. Kids can burn off some energy at our Pirate Golf course, completed with caves, footbridges, and waterfalls, or splash around in the dedicated splash pad. It’s an environment where adults can kick back with a cold brew and delicious food while the kids have a memorable, action-packed day.
