MARKET REPORT: Wine-ding down where Madiba once walked

What is a perfect day in the Cape Winelands? In summer, it typically starts with an early-morning trot through lush green vineyards sporting plump bunches of soon-to-be wine… a taste of what’s to come. Then, the “wine-down” begins. A hearty breakfast with a coffee while the kids and dogs run about.

The relatively new market is a so-called lockdown baby; an initiative of three Paarl moms – Tania Durr, Annelet Viljoen and Louise Human. “Our kids are all in the same school and during the lockdown, Tania and Annelet initially had the idea to create a space where people could meet up and breathe again. The market opened in October 2020, and I came on board a bit later,” Louise says.

The idea took off like a wildfire and – being moms themselves – the trio knew from the get-go that the market space needed to be kid-friendly. Hence, a dedicated play area, enclosure with ponies and tractor rides around the grounds are some of the major drawcards. Well-behaved pets are also welcome and offer great entertainment for the little ones in themselves – all happily running about.

Right next door to Baconville is another favourite at the market – Fish & Calamari Stop. Here, locals Irene and James Waigh serve up simple fried seafood with favourites being calamari and chips, as well as fried fish and tempura prawns. Across from them, there’s an alternative fish option in the form of made-on-the-spot authentic sushi.

Honouring its Winelands location, ice-cold refreshments are served in style and in thin-edged glasses by the reWINEd bar in the centre of the large shed. Choose between a few cheerful wines from the region, as well as refreshing cocktails and mocktails. For beer lovers, Diesel and Dust Craft brews from Stellenbosch are served on tap and frosty cold.

A quick calamari snack from Fish & Calamari Stop. Wine-filled afternoons are the way to go at Freedom Weekend Market.

Business Maverick: Junk-Rated Turkey, Nigeria Defy Market Chaos to Sell Dollar DebtTwo junk-rated developing nations are selling dollar bonds just as the Federal Reserve starts its rate liftoff, shrugging off higher borrowing costs and a choppy market. Those countries care very less about what convicted criminal institutions like S & P, Moodys or Fitch think. They have their own institutions that rate their economy. For the record these criminal rating agencies only focus on FDIs which is max 20% of any country's economy.
