This is a unique and

Slanghoek, Stellenbosch Vineyards and Township Winery, festival goers will
be spoilt for choice.
Sponsored by Jameson Irish
Whiskey, Absolut Vodka, Mumm Champagne, Castle, Coca Cola, Rose Rocks and BOS,
the festival promotes responsible drinking.
The event organisers acknowledged
the issue of alcohol abuse and have the following programme;
1. Strictly over 18’s
allowed into the event.
2. Wine samples to be
limited to 10.
3. Drinks have to be paid
for.
4. No drink to be brought
onto the site
5. No open containers to
leave the site
“We are also partnering
with a suitable drink/drive company, in order to get inebriated drivers and
their cars home safely” said Lungile Mbalo, #GugsFest rights holder.
Tickets for the #GugsFest
are up for grabs, people stand a chance to win single and double general passes
and VIP tickets.
“We are currently running
ticket give away competitions on our social media pages” said Fundiswa Singiswa
event marketing; “People can win randomly, spot themselves in our previous
event pictures or simply take a selfie standing next to our posters found in
and around Gugulethu” she said.
Ticket give away
competitions will run until November 5.
The event organisers will
be ploughing 15% of the profits back into an upliftment programme to train
young people in the wine industry.
“We will also be using
trainees from the Pinotage Youth Development Academy at the event. Each trainee
will receive a merit certificate of accomplishment, and we will make a donation
to the academy” Mbalo continued.
