About This Market

The Waterblommetjie Fees marks the arrival of waterblommetjie season each year, with Boland estates coming together to celebrate the delicacy. Now in its 16th edition, this year’s festival brings together Windmeul Kelder, Rhebokskloof Estate and Domaine Brahms outside Paarl on Saturday, 5 September.

Waterblommetjies are only in season for a short window each year, which is part of what makes them so prized – the star ingredient in a traditional waterblommetjiebredie, and once used by the KhoiKhoi for their medicinal properties too, alongside a solid dose of vitamins.

Each participating venue runs its own activities and timings on the day, so visitors are encouraged to check ahead and make a full day of it.

📅 Held annually, late August to early September (next date: Saturday, 5 September 2026)
🕗 Times vary by venue
📍 This year: Windmeul Kelder, Rhebokskloof Estate & Domaine Brahms, outside Paarl
