SIP more than 50 local wines and bubbles, SAVOUR the delicacies of artisanal foods and
SEA the Big Blue and ENJOY the festivities along the Plett Winelands.
The Plett Wine & Bubbly Festival presented by Plett Tourism and the Plett Wine Growers Association will offer over 30 wines from the Plett Winelands area, for guests to sample during two days of grand tastings. This year’s event takes place at the Beacon Island Resort, October 4th and October 5th, from 13h00 – 20h00 on the Saturday and from 12h00 – 20h00 on the Sunday and will include the dress theme ‘blue and white, ocean and bubbles and wear a hat’.
“The Plett Wine & Bubbly Festival is the front window to the Plett Winelands, Plett’s newest attraction consisting of 16 wine farms and estates and two slack packing trails, all of which will be officially launched at the Festival. It is a major step forward to extending Plett’s appeal beyond the summer and Easter seasons. The Plett Wine & Bubbly Festival will become one of Plett’s main drawcards in years to come and is a perfect fit to Brand Plett”, says Plett Tourism Chairman Peter Wallington.
Tickets are R250 per person and this includes a signature Plett Wine & Bubbly champagne flute and one complimentary glass of wine from a pre-selected wine farm. Food is available á la carte at artisan stations and Plett Tourism will tantalise the taste buds with their Oyster & Bubbly Bar. There will be artisan food stations, including a tapas-style Mediterranean selection presented by the Coral Reef Restaurant and a selection of cheeses, artisanal breads and delicacies presented by local producers.
The entertainment line-up includes South Africa’s leading acoustic rock group, Watershed on both days, with supporting acts of Sujo & Storm and local favourite Tigger.
VIPs will be treated to an exclusive food and MCC wine pairing brunch sponsored by The Plettenberg and their signature restaurant, Seafood at The Plettenberg. Sommelier Michelle Michaels will introduce guests to the amazing MCCs to be showcased at the festival.
