The Dry Season

September to April
Fresh leaves emerge in the springtime of September, and then summer exhibits gorgeous overgrown green foliage. The harvest season for the wine vineyards is at its peak in February and continues until March. In April, when autumn comes, the grapevines turn from green into deep, clay-coloured hues ranging from red, orange, yellow, and brown.

The Green Season

May to August
These months are winter in the Cape Winelands, which is also the rainy season and temperatures can be quite cold.
