Of Wine and Whales and now Music on 27-29 July 2012

The Cape has two treasures: one widely renowned and the other not nearly renowned enough.

Never a year goes by that the province doesn't produce magnificent wines and never a year goes by that hundreds of Southern Right whales come to the breeding waters off the coast of the De Hoop nature and marine reserve, to calve, offering spectacular viewing for tourists on a daily basis.

The first whales of the year have already arrived off De Hoop and in the coming months, this reserve will host spectacular displays as more than 40% of the world's Southern Right whales come into the bay to mate, calve and see their young through their first few, vulnerable months.

The management of De Hoop has ingenuously combined these two Cape treasures into an unusual, indulgent and insightful Wine and Whales weekend together with Malané Hofmeyr-Burger and her string and flute ensemble friends from the JPO who will be performing the “Whale Time Serenade”!

They will be performing pieces by Bach, Vivaldi, Mozart, Bach, Donizetti and Purcell in the Cloete Room at de Hoop with some more contemporary pieces by Gardel, Mango Groove, and others. Amongst their most famous performances are the annual outdoor concerts in the Kruger National Park and Madikwe Game Reserve in aid of counter poaching. Hosts from Cape Agulhas region wine estates Black Oyster Catcher; Creation; Jean Daneel; Quoin Rock; The Berrio; Zoetendal; Lomond; Brunia Strandveld/First Sighting and Lands End will offer guests several opportunities for tasting and interaction.

On Sunday morning, an interpretative marine walk at low tide to visit the whales is scheduled, with our resident guides who have a rare passion and deep knowledge of the hidden rock pool life of this piece of pristine coastline.
