Pop the corks! The Joburg Cap Classique & Champagne Festival is back and gearing up to entertain the Gautengers who like a bit of bubbly!
The festival will feature some of South Africa’s finest Cap Classiques from producers and distributors such as Amari, Ayepyep Bubbly, Benguela Cove, Black Elephant Vintners, Bon Courage, Boschendal, Graham Beck, House of Azari, Khulu, Kleine Zalze, Krone, L’Ormarins, Paul Renè, Steenberg, Villiera and WCellar.
On the Champagne front, those in attendance will include Champagne Deutz, Guy Charbaut’s Carrol Boyes Champagne and several brands courtesy of WCellar, including Villiera Cap Classique and Champagne Comtesse Alexia.
Even organiser Darielle Robertson says they are excited to be back in Joburg with what is always an enormously popular festival. They are also convinced bubbly is even more popular in Gauteng than it is in Cape Town or others parts of the country.
Robertson says: “This year, we’re especially thrilled to have several black-owned bubbly brands on board such as Amari, Ayepyep, House of Azari and Khulu – all Cap Classiques that are up there with the best of them and just waiting to be tasted and enjoyed! As always, the festival will have an elegant, chic garden party feel with a blue and white dress theme and fabulous prizes awarded each day to the best dressed.”
Food from a variety of stalls and stations will satisfy festival-goers’ hunger pangs and live music will also add to the laid-back ambience.
The weekend-long event is set to take place at the Inanda Polo Club in Sandton on Saturday 25 and Sunday 26 March from 11am to 4pm.
Tickets for The Johannesburg Cap Classique & Champagne Festival cost R450 a person and include entry to the venue, a souvenir branded glass and 10 tasting coupons. More bubbly will be available to purchase at the event.
