Stellenbosch Wine Festival comes to Cape Town<\/a>: <\/p>\n

\"\"
Top Stellenbosch wine estates will soon be on their way to the V&A Waterfront in Cape Town for the first-ever Stellenbosch Wine Festival Cape Town presented by Pick n Pay. The blend is as sublime as the many award-winning wines you can enjoy right on the water\u2019s edge in the majestic Table Bay Harbour.<\/p>\n

The two-day wine festival will take place at the North Wharf at the V&A Waterfront on Saturday 6 and Sunday 7 April 2019. The brand-new event will be a gloriously relaxing experience, where wine lovers will be invited to enjoy a selection of superb wines from world-renowned estates in the Stellenbosch Wine Routes region. Winemakers and estate owners will be right there to chat to visitors about their favourite wines and share the history behind their finest creations.<\/p>\n

Participating estates include, among many others, Beyerskloof, Warwick, Ken Forrester, Kleine Zalze, Kaapzicht Estate, Le Bonheur and L\u2019Avenir. Once you\u2019ve tasted a wine you love, you\u2019ll obviously want lots more of it, and you\u2019ll be able to purchase it right there and then \u2013 at the same price you\u2019d pay at the estate.<\/p>\n

Stellenbosch Wine Routes\u2019 Chairman, Mike Ratcliffe, explains the rationale behind relocating this iconic Stellenbosch-based festival. \u201cStellenbosch\u2019s wines are undoubtedly some of the finest in the world, and we\u2019d like to communicate this message to a wider audience,\u201d he said. \u201cNot only is the V&A Waterfront a world-class facility, with approximately 24-million visitors per year; moving locations means we\u2019re able to expose our exceptional wines to a wider audience, and in so doing introduce visitors to wines they may never have had the opportunity to experience otherwise.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ratcliffe said there are plans to take the festival to Johannesburg later this year, and possibly even to a global audience at a later stage. Ofcourse, where there\u2019s wine, there\u2019s food, and Pick n Pay will have something scrumptious on offer for everyone, from good old-fashioned burgers and fish and chips, to elegant charcuterie and cheese platters. If you\u2019ve always wanted to impress your friends with your food-and-wine pairing prowess, then a session at the Pick n Pay Tasting Room is a must! But make sure to pre-book, as these sessions sell out fast.
