Woolworths Wine Festival
A Feast For All The Senses
8 to 9 November 2008
If you love great wine, delicious food, cool music and the great outdoors,
there is only one place to be on the weekend of 8 9 November,
and thats 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, theres 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 Towns hottest Afro Fusion band, CODA, heading the list. They will 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 of R 150 return. The pick up points and times are as follows
