NINE YEARLINGS FLY OUR BANNER AT CAPE PREMIER SALE: On Monday, 16 January nine yearlings took a big step into the limelight and left their home for the bright lights of the Cape Town Convention Centre and the annual Cape Premier Yearling Sale,which takes place on 21 and 22 January 2017.

“Nine of our Yearlings were selected for the Sale and although the draft is particularly good this year, I feel that Lot 129 Carioca (Var x Miss Ipanema (AUS)) is an outstanding high-quality filly who oozes class and a great attitude,” comments Avontuur GM Pippa Mickleburgh. “Amongst the colts I really like Lot 210 Montego Bay (Var x Torra Bay (AUS)) as he is a good size for a first foal and has a great international pedigree.” Read more on our website….

VALENTINE’S ACTION IN THE TASTING ROOM
We love Valentine’s and always have fun with this day of romance, and this year is no exception. Pop in to visit us and share in a fun pairing specially for you and the love of your life. If you can’t stay, grab a trio of bottles of our Luna de Miel Chardonnay Reserve 2015 which is just perfectly named for the day (…it means “Honeymoon” in Spanish) and enjoy at a romantic venue with a great meal for two. The price is R340 for the 3-pack. (Usual price: R396)

FEB WINE SPECIAL
We’re treating our Burgundy fans this February with a twobottle special on that perfectly pink summer wine, Pinot Noir/ Chardonnay and the more serious Minelli Pinot Noir Reserve 2011, which is nearly sold out. The gift pack costs R200 (Usual price: R250) and this offer is only valid whilst stocks last.

BREAKFAST CLUB KICKS OFF
James vd Hoven is our first speaker for 2017 when the popular Business Breakfast Club kicks off again on Wednesday, 8 February. He will talk about the “Blockchain” and what that means for us in business.
