The Barn at
Gooding’s Groves officially opened
The Barn
function and conference facility at Gooding’s Groves Olive
Farm was officially opened on Saturday, 21 August 2010.
Attended by many loyal friends and business partners of
Gooding’s Groves and business representatives from various
companies as far afield as Riebeeck Kasteel, Cape Town and
Yzerfontein on the West Coast, the opening was a great
success despite winter’s cold and wet best.
Guests
were entertained by a local Groendal youth choir, Sondelani
(meaning come closer), which is one of Gooding’s Groves’
community projects. This choir will participate in a music
festival at Grahamstown later in the year and their
performance at the opening of The Barn was part of their
fundraising for this trip. Catering for the event included
wines from the neighbouring La Provence estate and an
assortment of hot and spicy curries cooked in the Gooding’s
Groves environmentally friendly Wonderbags. The distribution
of Wonderbags, a bag that offers electricity-saving cooking,
into disadvantaged communities and to local Franschhoek-based
feeding schemes is another element in Gooding’s Groves
continuing community outreach programme.
The Barn
is a fully-equipped conference and function venue that can
accommodate 10-50 guests depending on the format of the
event. It is also ideal for small wedding receptions,
celebrations or art exhibitions and private dinner parties.
The venue combines the charm of a rustic barn with the
functionality of a minimalist industrial look and feel and
is scenically situated among the olive groves on the banks
of the farm dam.

packages available,
