What to know locally in Paarl
Wine farm venues around Paarl and Franschhoek are popular for strategy sessions and team building, from cellar tours to cooking challenges.

Farms and cellars book workshop facilitators for worker forums and change processes, often in Afrikaans and isiXhosa. Year-end functions on farms need an MC and a PA system booked together.

Farming and food processing set the pace in Paarl and the Drakenstein valley. Wine and fruit farms, cellars, packhouses and food factories in Dal Josafat book safety, supervisor and workplace skills training, often timed around the harvest from January to April. The Drakenstein municipality runs planning sessions and public meetings, and NPOs in Mbekweni and Wellington run youth and early childhood programmes, mostly in Afrikaans and isiXhosa. For outside groups, the wine farm venues of Paarl, Simondium and Franschhoek are the main draw: Cape Town companies come here for strategy days and team building in the vineyards. It is about an hour from the city on the N1. Summer heat inland is strong, and winter brings rain and cold mornings.
