From October 2024 to May 2025, transform your weekend summer nights into a magical cinematic experience set against the breathtaking backdrops of the Winelands.

The Galileo introduces four new venues that promise to elevate the outdoor cinema experience: Asara Wine Estate, Boschenmeer Golf Estate, Diemersfontein Wine Estate, and Festa Restaurant.
Diemersfontein Wine Estate in Wellington debuts as The Galileo’s very first venue in this picturesque area. With its natural amphitheatre and cosy ambience, Diemersfontein is a must-visit. Enjoy countryside hospitality and world-class wines, creating the perfect setting for a serene movie night with friends and family.
For those near Paarl, Boschenmeer Golf Estate now joins The Galileo family. With its stunning Winelands views and convenient access from the N1, Boschenmeer offers luxury, leisure, and laughter, with a plush lawn, fun games, delectable food, and your favourite films – all under a canopy of stars.
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.
