MANY WHO love South African wine have dreamed about but never managed to arrange a stayover in the Eastern Cape town of Graaff-Reinet (or Nieu Bethesda) for the annual ‘Stoep Tasting’. It’s become so popular, with tickets selling out and accommodation booked up weeks in advance… so in demand that this year the organisers have doubled up and there are now two such weekends to choose from in May 2024.
