Experience the magic of The Galileo Open Air Cinema in the Cape Winelands this summer

As the summer sun sets over the picturesque Cape Winelands, a magical cinematic experience awaits visitors at The Galileo Open Air Cinema. Known for blending the charm of outdoor movie screenings with the beauty of award-winning wine estates, the cinema returns, offering a stellar lineup of blockbuster films alongside delectable food and exquisite local wines.

The Galileo invites you to sip back and relax at more than 10 stunning venues across the region, making it the perfect backdrop for gatherings with friends, romantic dates, or family outings. Attendees can indulge in picnic baskets filled with gourmet treats as they await the screening of classic films under a canopy of stars, creating unforgettable memories.

This season, frequent favorites such as Blaauwklippen, Lourensford, Nederburg, Leopard’s Leap, Plaisir, Zevenwacht, Asara, Diemersfontein, and Morgenhof remain on the must-visit list. Located throughout the scenic areas of Stellenbosch, Paarl, Kuilsriver, Wellington, Somerset West, and Franschhoek, these premier estates offer a diverse range of experiences, blending outstanding entertainment with breathtaking natural surroundings.

The return of beloved venues also marks the revival of Allée Bleue in Franschhoek and Rhebokskloof in Paarl, both returning to the lineup this season after being part of the cinemagic in previous years. Allée Bleue, one of the oldest estates in the summer rotation established in 1690, adds a touch of heritage and elegance to the experience. Rhebokskloof, with its newly renovated restaurant, offers its own picturesque views of rolling hills and pristine landscapes, enhancing the visual delight of the evening.

For those seeking a more luxurious experience, The Galileo has reinstated its premium offering, the Galileo Royale. These exclusive screenings, held once a month at Nederburg and Norval Foundation, bring sophistication to the summer cinema experience. With a smaller capacity, themed showings come complete with a curated menu that includes a canapé, welcome drink, popcorn, and a main meal — making these evenings as delightful as they are intimate. Whether you choose to dress up or dress down, prepare for an extraordinary night that promises to impress.
