From Alpacas to bees, mushrooms to weeds and a glass or two of shiraz on the beach, our second issue is jam packed and filled to the brim. We explore every nook and wonderful cranny of Dassiesfontein; visit the home of the Marine Big Five in Gansbaai; take a trip down memory lane as we explore our favourite town, Bot River; slackpack along the Fynbos Trail in search of the miracle in the forest; saddle-up, gear-up and man-up for the Absa Cape Epic; and pic-a-spot for a picnic! Enjoy.

... it’s “Summer time...and the livin’ is easy...” There is so much to do; the weather is fabulous, even on a windy day; the days are longer, the air seems fresher and the mood lighter.  Greyton is one of those little places that fills you up. It’s a place where stillness speaks to you, where creativity abounds and where special people gather.  I stumbled upon Wolwengat much the same way I did Baardskeerdersbos; I was headed elsewhere and took a wrong turn! Note - the old fuel pump has not been in service for a l-o-n-g time! Thaya Bedford shares the secrets of her Big Fat County Life. 
Do you have a veggie garden? We visit some community gardens where planting, harvesting and giving back are all part of a day’s work. I may still plant those carrots some day! We went searching for adventure and we found so many that we couldn’t pick a favourite. When last did you pull over at a padstal for a pick-me-up? There are so many fabulous ones in the Overberg, and so if you are travelling along the N2 this summer be sure stop in at one of them for a delicious pie. 
We have a wonderful selection of fabulous prizes valued at over R50 000. We are so grateful to everyone who made this possible for our readers’ benefit. Be sure to enter to stand a chance to win! Last, but certainly not least, we are thrilled to include our second wedding guide...and our couples look amazing! We hope that you will find inspiration and tips for your wedding and be as adventurous as they were. May 2016 be full, fabulous and fruitful! God bless.

Gentle giants have returned to Hermanus, our feature town, and there are a number of amazing festivals scheduled to take place in the next few months all in celebration of these amazing beasts of the ocean. Pack a picnic basket and your binos and head on down the Cliff Path for your perfect vantage point. 
Have you done The Cape Country Meander? This is the route you should follow this winter and one we will be focusing on in future issues! 
We met some amazing women in Suurbraak, a tiny little historic village in the middle of nowhere. Tiny travels amount to much anywhere in the world and the Overberg is no exception. This community is destined for great things, and the inhabitants are determined to restore their piece of paradise, so be adventurous - take that turn-off, you never know what you may find. 
With winter in full swing we went in search of delicious food to warm our bellies...and hearts. Who doesn’t love delicious hot toffee pudding dressed in creamy custard? We found this dream pud along the glorious Hemel-en-Aarde route while doing a wine-tasting tour with the genius that is Wine Flies. It was exhausting moreish work! 
This issue includes our EXPERIENCE OVERBERG THIRST GUIDE – from craft beer tasting, to wine routes, cocktails and grappa, witblitz and brandy… and even tea! Enter our competitions and you could win over R15 000 in prizes.
The Overberg is the place to be this winter - wine, mountain-biking, whales, art, festivals, food, fireplaces...and don’t forget to make our Boere Gluwein!

In this issue we visit the fruit filled valley of Villiersdorp, get introduced to Parry the Stingray in Struisbaai and pop across to the lighthouse at Cape L, Agulhas. We feature images of the inaugural Transcape MTB race that recently took place, go hiking on Boschkloof farm and paddling on the Breede. Find more on people, places, history and more of what the Overberg has to offer in this Autumn/Winter issue.

Swellendam, Barrydale, Tradouw Pass, Hermanus, Matrics, Camping, Kids in Nature, family fun, country markets, Overberg adventures, breakfasts,  festive lunches…and MORE

Lazy Sunday lunches, fabulous bloggers, awesome Overberg woman - artists, business woman, carers, bakers, wine makers and visionaries, we honor them all. We feature Bredasdorp, South Africa's first dorpie, Arniston and Kassiesbaai, Sanity Farm, Belgium Ale and the gastronomic success that is Napier and we embark on the Whale Trail. .

Welcome to the Overberg Experience - It starts the minute you turn off the N2 and you know that you know that you have left the big city behind. The realisation that life is about to come to a pulsating and vibrating standstill. It is possible to be so relaxed that you may want to do as much as you would like to do less; where strolls around the village and hikes to McGregor are mentioned in the same sentence, where sheep bleat welcomes, blue cranes wave, cows stare and horses beg for carrots, and where leaving just seems so unfair. A magical place where whales sing and the hills seem to roll on in unison. Where sipping wine in valleys so green leaves you daydreaming and humming and where the country beckons, welcomes and embraces like no other can. From mountains to valleys, vineyards to oceans, rivers to farms... relax, chill and enjoy
