DURBANVILLE SPRING COUNTRY SERIES

Nestled in the Tygerberg Hills, a mere 20-minute drive from Cape Town, lies the Durbanville Wine Valley with hectares of flourishing vineyards, award-winning wines and hospitable atmosphere. 

 And at its heart lies the proudly historic Hollywoodbets Durbanville racecourse. Sporting a vibrant and rich racing history, this venue is home to the Durbanville Spring Country Series. 

The Country Series is more than just a celebration of the Mother City’s proud racing and cultural heritage; it is perfectly placed to host sensational race days in the heart of Cape Town’s Northern Suburbs, and Hollywoodbets Durbanville is ready to fly out of the starting gates with an electrifying showcase of horse racing, gourmet delights, family fun and racing culture at its finest.
