The newly re-launched Elgin Grabouw Valley Tourism has appointed a new committee.
• Marion Smith - chairperson and co-owner of Elgin Ridge Wines
• Nicky Wallace - Paul Wallace Wines
• Liesl Cluver Rust - Paul Cluver Wines
• Nick King - South Hill Wines
• Roger Orpen - Elgin Railway Market
• Pieter Silberbauer - Trails End
• Alfra Cox, assisted by Edward Cloete, who will represent Theewaterskloof Municipality
The committee will be supported by a full-time executive head of tourism, Catherine Boome, who resides in Elgin on a family apple and pear farm. Mariaan Meyer manages administrative tasks.
The new structure and name encompass the entire Elgin and Grabouw community, offering a broader scope of information for local and international tourists. These include all sectors: wines, the new Elgin Railway Market, outdoor adventure activities, restaurants, accommodation facilities - that range from authentic farm experiences, mountain bike hotels to glamping - as well as the traditional farmstalls.
