If you love great wine, delicious food, cool music and the great outdoors,
there’s only one place to be on the weekend of 8-9 November,
and that’s at the first-ever Woolworths Wine Festival.
Taking place at the beautiful Diemersfontein Wine Estate, near
Wellington just 45 minutes from Cape Town, it promises to be a fabulous
opportunity to taste Woolworths wide range of wine and enjoy a chat with the
winemakers and the Woolworths wine team.
With a plethora of wines on show from easy-drinking everyday
wines to Woolworths celebrated reserve wines, there’s bound to be something for
every taste and every pocket. To make it easier for festival goers, Woolworths
has separated the wines into various categories, each of which will be featured
on its own stand. Some of the more intriguing include “Festive Bubblies”,
“Perky Pinks” and “Sassy Sweets”. Good news is that many of the wines will be
available at special festival prices.
Woolworths renowned wine master Allan Mullins, who is responsible
for blending most of Woolworths wines, will host wine blending sessions, and
some of the 27 stands will feature food & wine pairings.
In addition to a champagne & oyster bar (guaranteed to be one
of the most popular spots at the festival), there will also be plenty of
delicious Woolworths food available to enhance the wine tasting experience, as
well as live entertainment with Cape Town’s hottest Afro-Fusion band, CODA,
heading the list. They’ll be joined by other local artists.
The festival will run from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on both
Saturday and Sunday and will be an ‘adults only’ affair, as no under-18s
will be admitted.
While Woolworths promises that there will be plenty of parking
available, a nice touch for those who would prefer to leave the driving to
someone else is that a shuttle will run between Cape Town and Diemersfontein
throughout the festival at a cost ofR
150 return. The pick up points and times are as follows:
Waterfront: The Clock Tower
Entrance - 09:50/18:00
