Boasting some of the country’s top Cap Classiques from estates such as Colmant, Graham Beck Wines, Krone, La Motte, Môreson, Pierre Jourdan, J.C. le Roux, Pongracz, Simonsig, Steenberg and Villiera, the festival will offer patrons the opportunity to sip and sample the finest of bubblies without having to venture into the Winelands. World renowned Champagnes will be presented by brands such as Billecart Salmon, Tribaut and Veuve Clicquot.

Adding to this premier experience, visitors will be able to buy wines at exceptional prices at the festival, affording them the perfect opportunity to stock up for the festive season. Renowned retailer Norman Goodfellow will be on site to facilitate the delivery of purchases.

The card will be loaded with 10 electronic ‘coupons’ that are included in the ticket price, but additional tasting coupons will be available for purchase at the festival.

Furthermore, MasterCard cardholders will also enjoy a 10% discount on Cap Classiques and Champagnes purchased from the exhibitors at the festival, if these purchases are made using their MasterCard card.
