Tru-Cape Fruit Marketing, the largest marketer of South African apples and pears, is opening its Heritage Orchard of historic apple and pear trees to the public for a guided tour, hosted by Tru-Cape’s Quality Assurance Manager, Henk Griessel, and New Varietal Expert, Buks Nel, at the Oak Valley Estate in Grabouw on Saturday, February 4 between 10am and 12noon.
There will be an opportunity to see and taste historic fruit no longer in commercial production.
While there is no charge for the two hour experience, places are limited to 30 people and tickets must be shown at the gate.
