HEAD UP THE WEST COAST TO THE GROOTE POST DECEMBER COUNTRY MARKET
Country hospitality on your doorstep on the last Sunday of every month between 10h00 and 15h00



Take a break, after the hectic festive rush, round up the family and head out to the country to join the Pentz family in the gardens at Groote Post for their December Market on Sunday 27th December.

The terrace alongside the Cellar will again be a hive of activity, brimming with delicious and beautiful country offerings. Guests can expect artisan foods, arts and crafts, home-ware and décor, and of course, Groote Post’s well-loved wines. All Groote Post’s wines will be available for tasting and purchase by the glass, bottle or case, including the Groote Post Rosé which is made exclusively for the monthly markets. Local is lekker with locals presenting a divine selection of Darling gourmet produce including organic mushrooms, Weskus Worswa, divine breads, Udderly Delicious cheese, charcuterie, olive oils, pomegranate products and juice, organic preservative free chilli sauces, marinades and spices from the Saucy Boys, delicious handmade toffees from Darling Sweet, popular craft beers from Darling Brew and much more. Kids will love the rolling lawns, playground, tractor rides, face painting, water-balls and target-shooting to name a few of the activities that will be available. Newton & Co Duo (a combination of Newton on guitar and vocals and Maria on violin) play popular cover music from golden oldies to modern contemporary songs, and they will be sure to get you foot-stomping.

After browsing through the market, visitors can relax in the shade under the trees enjoying the music and tucking into their delicious eats from the market while sipping on Groote Post wines and Darling Brew’s craft beers.

Groote Post’s award-winning restaurant, Hilda’s Kitchen, will be open as usual – however, booking is essential.

Please note that although pets are welcome – all dogs must be on a leash at all times.  Visitors arriving without their dogs on a leash will be given an option to buy one from the SPCA stall or hire one at the Information stall. 

Entry to the Groote Post Country Market is free of charge.

Groote Post Country Market opening hours: 10h00 to 15h00
