The 6th annual festival at Bona Bona Game Lodge
Live Music
RAAF
After a day of fine wine and exceptional venison, the evening belongs to RAAF. South Africa's celebrated husband-and-wife folk-pop duo, Lourens and Esté. Between them, they play 12 instruments on stage, from guitar and accordion to ukulele and foot drums, creating the rich, full-band sound RAAF is known for. Their music has been called rock 'n roll, tender, hard-hitting and unforgettable, the kind of show audiences say you owe yourself at least once in a lifetime.
At Vino Venison, RAAF brings the perfect close to a day in the bush. Good food, good wine, and live music under the bushveld sky. Stay for the show with our Festival + RAAF combo ticket.
Wine Tastings
Wine Farms
Taste over 80 wines from 17 farms. One incredible day of discovery. From crisp whites to bold reds, explore a curated selection of South Africa's finest wines, poured by the people who make them.
At Vino Venison, it's not just a tasting, it's a chance to meet the farms behind the bottle, in a setting as beautiful as the wine itself.
Food
Venison Tasters
Fifteen tasters. Endless variety. From kudu to springbok, warthog to gemsbok. South Africa's game has never tasted this good. Each dish is crafted to showcase the natural richness and lean, bold flavour that venison is known for, prepared by passionate hands who know the meat best.
At Vino Venison, every taster supports a bigger goal: uplifting the wildlife and venison industry, one plate at a time.
