THIS weekend for the third year running, Investec Private Bank will sponsor “The Magic of Bubbles” Cap Classique and Champagne Festival in Franschhoek.
Some of France’s best Champagne will be tasted alongside the finest Cap Classiques to emerge from the wine cellars of South Africa. The centrepiece of the festival will be a grand marquee on the sprawling lawns surrounding Franschhoek’s famous Huguenot Monument, where bubbly stalls will be interspersed with stalls from the local restaurants offering delicious delicacies.
The festival will be open from 18:00 to 22:00 on Friday and then between 12:00 and 18:00 on the weekend.
The theme for the festival is ‘white with a touch of black’, with a prize being awarded to the best dressed couple every day of the festival.
Entrance is R180 which includes a tasting glass and a complimentary booklet containing ten tasting coupons. Tickets can be purchased through www.webtickets.co. za, but numbers are limited. Contact Darielle Craddock on 021-876-2861.
