PAINT THE VILLAGE RED THIS WINTER

The best time to enjoy the Hills is on a cold wintery weekend, the rain pelting the window of a rustic cellar door, a fire roaring, a glass of Shiraz, Pinot Noir or even Tempranillo in hand and a bowl of warming, slow cooked nourishment on your lap. Below you will find the venues and events participating from Hahndorf.
