Movie screenings will also be held at Asara Wine Estate in Stellenbosch for the first time. With breathtaking views, rolling lawns, and five-star customer service, an evening spent watching classics with The Galileo under the stars at this award-winning wine estate is sure to be unforgettable. 

For those in search of another magical outdoor cinema experience in Wellington, Festa Restaurant presents an equally charming atmosphere. Situated on the picturesque Kleinevalleij Estate, Festa boasts breathtaking views and an exceptional wine selection, making it an ideal location to relax and enjoy a delightful evening in the Boland.

The Winelands Galileo movie lineup is a delightful mix of rom-coms, family favourites, and feel-good dramas, including classics like Mamma Mia!, Freaky Friday, Bridget Jones’s Diary, Grease, Pitch Perfect 2, Dirty Dancing, and The Grand Budapest Hotel.
