“For the first time this year we are including wines from Chile and Italy as well as creating a market atmosphere with our food exhibitors. Visitors are encouraged to relax at the festival and with the regular wine theatre presentations, live music and food courts, we hope they will,” says Elize Walters, PR and Marketing Manager of Propergation Estates, presenters of the Festival.

Nearly 35 wineries and 20 food stalls make this the place to be during the cold winter months. Although predominantly red wines, ports, brandies and dessert wines are presented for tasting in keeping with the theme, many wineries include bubblies and white wines.
