selection to suit every palate and
wallet, ranging from Red, White, Dry and Sweet right through to Port, Bubbly
and Pot-Stilled Brandy, is on offer.
“We wanted to offer visitors a wide range

wineries from right across the country to exhibit during the festival,”
says Cape Gate Marketing Manager Amanda McCarthy.
Hungry tummies are catered for with products
like biltong, cheese, olives, olive oil and chocolates on offer and selected
food exhibitors have been invited to provide eats for sale. Lounge seating areas for socialising will
ensure a casual vibe and an enjoyable food & wine experience as visitors
are welcome to buy something to eat and enjoy it with a glass of wine on site.

Vineyards, De Krans, Du Toitskloof Cellar, Groenland, Mount Vernon, Koelenhof
