McGregor Wine Region - Part 1

Another lovely drive that we took with our youngest child, Amanda, was to the McGregor Food and Wine Festival on the last day of August. Our mission was to go on an outing, enjoy some wines from the area and to check out this festival for our first time. 

We ventured out of our home to brave the rainy weather. It certainly made for some interesting photos. Remember to click on the images to view them larger and to enjoy the finer details. Also, take a moment to check out the neat links (in blue) that I've included.

You can find out more about these
show stoppers here on Mayesh
and also here on Wedding Flowers.

The Fynbos was being arranged on the table
and the steel drums for the live entertainment
were getting set up in the background.

The South African boys played steel drums
and other instruments.

Thanks! I have 4 blogs and share a 5th with Hubby. They are listed on my sidebar. The two that you now know about are the two that I post the most on. I'm so glad you checked out the link about the Blushing Bride. The other link also had another story about them that I've also heard from the locals. Enjoy your Sunday!
