Drinking Water & Leiwater

Tap water in Greyton often runs brown — this is completely normal and harmless. The colour comes from plant tannins leaching into the mountain catchment, and the slight acidity is considered beneficial for skin and hair.

It's one of the last functioning systems of its kind in South Africa.

Waters of Greyton (Nicky & Gretha)

Events & Festivals

Greyton hosts some of the Overberg's most celebrated annual events and festivals — intimate enough to feel like a village party, big enough to draw visitors from across the country. Dates below are for 2026.

Fools & Fans — Beer Festival

Greyton's beloved craft beer festival is the perfect excuse to spend a long weekend on the village green. Local and regional breweries pour their finest alongside live music, lawn games, and enough banter to last until Monday. An annual event and festival that kicks off the Greyton social calendar in fine style — and one that rewards arriving on Friday.

April 10–11, 2026 · Tickets from R210

Greyton Fire+Wine

Two winter nights, one unforgettable annual event. Fire+Wine pairs the heat of open flames — fire pits, braais, flaming installations — with the cool elegance of Overberg wines. It's a festival like nothing else in the country: smoky, convivial, and steeped in that particular Greyton magic that turns a cold July night into something you'll talk about for years.

July 25–26, 2026 · Tickets from R740

Garden of Bubbles

A sparkling wine celebration in the gardens of Greyton. Organised by the Greyton Wine Club — contact 072 835 8768 or wineclub@greytontourism.com for tickets and details.

October 25, 2026

Greyton Wine Weekend

Spring arrives in Greyton in full colour, and what better way to celebrate than with a weekend dedicated to the wines of the Overberg? This annual festival gathers producers from across the region for tastings, cellar talks, and long, unhurried afternoons under the oaks. A civilised and deeply enjoyable event for anyone who takes their wine seriously — or just wants a very good excuse to visit Greyton in November.

November 7–8, 2026 · Tickets from R640

Village Markets

Two weekly markets give the village much of its character. If you only make it to one, make it Saturday.

Saturday Market

Held on Main Road near the tennis courts every Saturday morning. Expect fresh local produce, handmade crafts, speciality coffee, pancakes, samoosas, rotis, and plenty of friendly faces. One of the best reasons to visit Greyton on a weekend.

Today: Closed

Wednesday Market

Smaller weekday market at Greyt Oak Centre. Marshall brings fresh local produce, John the Village Baker has his artisan breads (cash only), and Alex has samoosas. A quieter alternative to Saturday — with just as much flavour.

Wednesdays 9am–12pm

Greyton Art Market

A periodic outdoor market celebrating the work of Greyton's thriving arts community — paintings, photography, ceramics, textiles, and handmade crafts from local makers. Contact Penny to find out about upcoming dates.

Community Organisations & Conservation

Greyton has a long tradition of community action — from rewilding the mountains to supporting education, animal welfare, and sport. Many of these organisations welcome volunteers and donations.
