WAM was born when two resident couples in Henly-on-Klip with very common interests, but very different specializing fields had a dream.
A dream to start an annual event in their beloved village! An event that could serve several purposes.
It would increase tourism within the village, it would be a financial injection into the local economy, it could serve as a fundraiser for local charities, and bring art, culture, wine and local musical talent to the residents. And WAM, the festival was born.
WAM is an acronym for Wine, Arts, and Music. One weekend annually filled with great wine, quality music, and beautiful art.
Arrangements began immediately with members of the Henley Rotary Club and the Henley Lions joining the committee. The Midvaal municipality agreed to sponsor the event and the dream slowly started to become reality.
This year, the Henley WAM festival tickets sell for R170 and get you access to all venues all weekend long, plus a complimentary wine glass. Wine tasting will start Saturday 26 August at 11 am and will end at 5 pm. On Sunday wine tasting will continue at 11 am and end at 3 pm.
In accordance with the original idea of the organizers, the festivities will not be limited to one single location. The various wine farms and exhibiting artists will be hosted at different venues across Henley-on-Klip.
Festival-goers will receive their branded wine glass and booklet upon presentation of the wine-tasting ticket which can be purchased online from Quicket.
