This season, there’s a special emphasis on ensuring all movie enthusiasts and Galileo fans based in the Winelands are fully catered to, with a host of incredible shows on offer stretching from Somerset West to Stellenbosch, Paarl, and Franschhoek.

Every Saturday, the movie magic travels to roving venues that allow for the usual perks of a perfect Galileo evening, offering the opportunity to tick off some new wine farms on the local travel list or a good excuse for another visit to an already firm favourite.

In Stellenbosch, the Muratie Canvas at Muratie Wine Estate offers an all-weather experience in absolute comfort with the clear-view marquee, allowing 360-degree views of the surrounding Winelands. This is a new and unique offering which includes reserved, exclusive seating at the back, as well as delicious treats. 

Just outside Stellenbosch, on the slopes of the Simonsberg mountains, Morgenhof Wine Estate shines as another new venue, where an unforgettable picnic on lush grass is topped only by fine wines and panoramic views.

The Stellenbosch Waldorf School, part of the larger Spier Wine Estate, is another newbie sure to wow. This venue boasts a spacious lawn encircled by trees and mountains and is the perfect backdrop for family reunions and weekend plans that cater to all ages. Screenings such as “Lady and the Tramp” and “The Greatest Showman” will create lasting memories with your family under the starry skies.

Finally, Zevenwacht Wine Estate completes the new addition to Galileo’s own ‘wine route’, where movie-goers can admire panoramic views of Table Mountain, Table Bay, and False Bay while enjoying the outdoor movie magic.
