Summer: Crocodile feeding every Wednesday & Sunday @ 3pm
Winter: Crocodile feeding every Sunday @ 3pm What was at first considered a crazy idea soon turned into a reality as the late Corky Kelly constructed Riverbend Crocodile Farm in Southbroom on the South Coast of KwaZulu Natal, South Africa. The farm was officially opened on the 24th November 1981 and having celebrated its 30th Birthday in 2011 the farm has grown and has now hosted more than 2 million visitors establishing itself as one of KwaZulu Natal’s major tourist attractions. While the initial nile crocodiles were obtained from Zimbabwe additional nile crocodiles from Namibia, South Africa and now home bred crocodiles form the nucleus of one of the most successful crocodile breeding basks in South Africa.

At the Southbroom Golf Club next Friday evening!

Riverbend Art & W**e Gallery is delighted to be hosting an evening with the remarkable Survivor W**es on Friday 26th of June, with this month’s tasting taking place at the beautiful Southbroom Golf Club.

Hosted by w**e enthusiast & raconteur Howard Kelly, we’ll be exploring 7 gorgeous w**es from the Survivor stable.
Inspired by the tale of a determined Nguni cow that leapt off a truck & into the vineyards on its way to market - a fitting emblem for w**es with character and a fierce spirit of adventure!

Crafted by acclaimed w**emaker Pierre Wahl - affectionately known in w**e circles as the “Pope of Pinotage” - these terroir-driven w**es (reflecting the influence of soil, climate and place) celebrate the richness of South Africa’s diverse w**e regions.
From bold Swartland reds to elegant cool-climate whites from Elgin and Stellenbosch, Pierre is renowned for crafting w**es that truly express where they come from.

The tasting will be accompanied by a selection of delicious pizzas, making for a relaxed evening of great w**es, good stories & lively company.

Friday 25 June from 6pm till 8 pm
Southbroom Golf Club.

R120 per person, including the tasting & pizza.

Bookings are essential for catering purposes, and numbers are limited to the first 50 guests.

Phone 083 265 9583 or email [email protected] to reserve your place.
