A Culinary Journey into the Heart of the HIGHVELD

Guests are invited to:

Beef tasting experience with top local producers – 5 Beef Tasters, 50gsm each, Curated wine tastings – 10 Wine Farms, Tasting Glass, Full Lunch ( Soup with Freshly baked breads, selection of succulent braai meats, Farm Fresh Sides), Cash craft gin & beer bar, Live music all day.

Cattle & Cork blends sophistication with soil

This is where the rugged romance of the land meets the elegance of country dining — a place where handcrafted boots walk beside polished wine glasses, and the smell of open-fire beef mingles with the notes of vintage reds.

Set against the backdrop of Galloway Gardens, our festival honours the stories of our local producers, the pride of our cattlemen, and the pleasure of slow, intentional indulgence. It’s not just an event — it’s a lifestyle moment, curated for those who appreciate craftsmanship, flavour, and the spirit of the land.

Jasper Dan – Live at C&C

Jasper Dan has certainly come a long way since opening for Iron
Maiden in Johannesburg as part of their Book of Souls World Tour
in 2016. A number of member changes since have hugely
enhanced their musical delivery and performances which is
bolstered by their achievements of late.

Their single “Your Sugar Girl” placed at Number 1 on the Mix FM
SA Top 40 for 5 weeks from December 2020 and in 2021, their song
“Over The Water’s Edge” from their album “A Southern Fling” was
selected to feature in the American motion picture American
Bigfoot.

More recently, in 2022, both their original single, The Soil (City Of
Gold) & a live recording of their rendition of Levon Helms,
Hurricane have both reached Number 1 on the Mix FM SA Top 40.
