A Darling Market

Groote Post Country Market is the perfect summer country market, nestled in the hills just outside of Darling and only a leisurely 45 minute trip from Cape Town. Hosted by the historic Groote Post Wine Estate, this market is open on the last Sunday of each month during the summer months August to April only – December offers an exciting Christmas Market each year!

The Market is a relaxing country experience where is “local is lekker” and with locals presenting a divine smorgasbord of tip-top country produce, artisan foods, arts and crafts, popular craft beers from Darling Brew and of course award-winning wines from the Groote Post Estate itself.

The kids, as always, will be kept busy with a wide variety of kiddies’ activities – tractor rides, face-painting, guided horse rides and, of course, the popular playground. Bring the family, including the furry four-legged kind, just please remember their leashes please!
