Evita se Perron is open Tuesday to Sunday 10H00 to 16H00
The name EVITA SE PERRON was inspired by its location as the former
Darling Station. Perron in Afrikaans means ‘station platform’ and Evita is also the
name of South Africa’s most famous white woman …. Mrs Evita Bezuidenhout.
Here Pieter-Dirk Uys performs his internationally-acclaimed shows on stage with
Evita or with a cast of familiar political characters.
Pieter-Dirk Uys was on his way to McGregor one fine day in 1995 when he
took a wrong turn. He arrived in Darling, ordered a schnitzel at Zum Schatzi and
outside the restaurant met Dale Gremels, who was selling a house. She´d seen
his show at the Baxter the week before.
It took six months to renovate and as magic would have it, Darling had all
the people to do the job: a young man who specialised in Victorian
restoration, a Danish electrician, a wizard-carpenter and a community of
artisans who scraped, oiled and gently put the old house together like plastic
surgeons.
Once Pieter-Dirk Uys had moved from Cape Town, Jochi Gremels casually
mentioned that the old station building in Arcadia Road was now empty. The
station was closed in the 1970s. Since then, various people had used the
building for a variety of things, but the gravel expanse next to the railway line
stayed dusty and hard on the eyes and feet. It had been derelict for some
years, and then became the workshop of that wizard-carpenter, who had
decided to move on.
When Uys, already settled in his house up the road, was asked if he could
use the building as a storeroom to hold off the demolishers, the dormant idea
of having his own theatre was rekindled in his imagination. And so, in 1996, it
stepped into the pages of the unique and became EVITA SE PERRON. Inspired
by the legends of Argentina´s Evita Peron and our own Evita Bezuidenhout, this
was the ideal place for a theatre. Besides, the word perron is Afrikaans for
station platform!

DARLING WINE FARMS
Alexanderfontein
Ormonde Private Cellar produces the Alexanderfontein range of wines that are wonderfully aromatic
and accessible on the palate, reflecting the terrior of the region in cultivar, character and style.
Unmistakably fresh, well-balanced and elegantly aromatic to make any occasion special. These wines
are crafted for unpretentious pleasure and enjoyment of the simpler aspects of life.
Cloof
Cloof’s oldest surviving vines were planted in 1966, with additional plantings in 1976 and 1987. In that
time Darling, adjacent to the Swartland, was better known as a wheat farming region. A cellar was
completed in time for the 1998 harvest, which allowed the first release of Cloof wines during the course
of 1999. Vineyard area was significantly increased, with plantings every year from 1998 to 2000,
bringing the total to 145 hectares of which the majority is Bush Vines. The 220 hectares of vineyards at
neighbouring Burghers Post are under the same ownership, giving us unparalleled access to (and
control over) top quality fruit.
Darling Cellars
1996 heralded a new era for the region of Darling with the establishment of the private cellar: Darling
Cellars (Pty) Limited. With its unique terroir and the demarcation of the area as Wine of Origin Darling in
2003, the focus is on producing wines that are region and varietal true. Some 20 shareholders produce
grapes from a total of ±1300ha, averaging 6 to 8 tons per hectare.
Groote Post
Groote Post is a historic 18th century farm on the Cape's West Coast where winemaking traditions have
been revived by the Pentz family. Unique aspects and cool climatic conditions of the Darling Hills yield
superlative fruit. Our wines are produced to reflect the uniqueness of our vineyards.
Nuweland
Juan Louw jnr. is the winemaker on the farm. After finishing his studies, he went to work in a cellar on the
island of Alameda, near San Francisco. For the next harvest he moved to Nieu Zeeland where he
worked in a cellar on the South Island. His first dessert and red wines were made in a small cellar in
Calitzdorp in 2007. Everything was done by hand. All the bottles are waxed and not encapsulated.
He is the only winemaker in South Africa that makes a fortified wine with sun-dried grapes that is not
fermented.
Withington Wines
The wines of Withington are of high quality and internationally recognised, not only in terms of awards,
but far more significantly, in terms of “repeat purchase”. Charles Withington has 30 years’ experience in
the wine business ranging from working with top-end boutique producers, to working on projects with
leading UK supermarkets involving HACCP and BRC compliancy.
