McGregor is a small heritage village nestled in the mountains of the Western Cape, South Africa. It is located east of Cape Town, in the Breede River Winelands Municipality. Home to a dynamic community of artists, poets, and musicians, it is no wonder that McGregor’s art scene is vibrant. The village is filled with art galleries and studios, and you can also find an annual poetry festival as well as many other cultural events. In July, there is an annual Food and Wine Festival that presents the superior wines from the valley as well as local food specialities. Tourists indulge in outdoor activities like hiking, mountain biking, horse-riding and river rafting. Animal lovers could head over to the Eseltjiesrus Donkey Sanctuary to get up close and personal with the animals before having a tea break, complete with jam and scones. From its historic architecture to its old-world charm, McGregor is the place to go for a rural retreat.
