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 of R 150 return. The pick up points and times are as follows:
• Waterfront: The Clock Tower Entrance – 09:50/18:00
• Northern Suburbs: Canal Walk – 10:15/18:20
• Southern Suburbs: Kenilworth 09:30/18:45

Tickets for either Saturday the 8th or Sunday the 9th of November are limited and available from Computicket at a cost of R150 each so book soon to avoid disappointment.
