Avontuur Estate
June in the Boland is a time for red meat, red wine and hearty soups and casseroles. At Avontuur we’re also moving indoors to the fireplaces and have a few cosy events planned to brighten up your Winter.

IN CONVERSATION WITH… JAN VAN ROOYEN
The first of our informative and fun dinner events kick off with winemaker Jan van Rooyen who will be sharing his life, loves and wine passions with an intimate audience on Thursday, 2 June from 18h30 in the Avontuur Estate Restaurant. This is your chance to ask all the questions you’ve always wanted to ask, and find out more about a winemaker’s job! R400 pp (Includes welcome drink, 3-course meal paired with a glass of wine, service fee and vat included). Bookings & pre-payments: openhand@polka.co.za or +27 21 855-4296. See our website for more info.

CALLING ALL CHARDONNAY FANS…
If you’ve always wondered if southern hemisphere whites can stand the test of time, join us on Saturday, 11 June from 10h30-12h00 for a vertical tasting of the premium range Luna de Miel Chardonnay Reserve with our winemaker in the tasting room. After the tutored tasting, you are invited for a light lunch and a glass of wine. R100 pp. Only 20 tickets available. For the day only, we’re offering a 5 + 1 deal on the current vintage of this wine, so make sure you take advantage!

Bookings: winery@avontuurestate.co.za or +27 21 855-3450.

RED WINE SPECIAL IN THE TASTING ROOM
We’re getting into the cooler weather in a big way with a 2-bottle special deal on Cabernet/Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon at R160 instead of the usual R190. Only from the tasting room for the month of June.

LUCKY WINNER OF #CABFRANCCARNIVAL PRIZE
Claire Baillie-Steward and her boyfriend popped across from Stellies to join the Cabernet Franc Carnival and collect her prize of 6 bottles of Avontuur Cab Franc 2011 to enjoy at home. To see more pics of the day, visit www.avontuurestate.co.za

TASTE THE HELDERBERG 2016
Visit our stand at this year’s Taste of the Helderberg wine event at the Lord Charles Hotel on Wednesday 15 June from 17h00-21h00. We’ll be showing off some new vintages and old favourites and you can win a prize in our lucky draw. Tickets @ R100 pp can be pre-booked or bought at the entrance, but be there early.

YOUTH DAY – 16 JUNE
The Tasting Room and Restaurant is open for business on this public holiday, so spend some quality time with us, either for a wine tasting or for our new chocolate and wine pairing, which is such a hit already!

FATHER’S DAY SUNDAY, 19 JUNE
Treat your dad for a slap-up breakfast or lunch in the Restaurant and combine that with a gift of an Avontuur Cab/Merlot Magnum for only R125 per bottle.

It’s perfect for a braai or a more serious occasion and just big enough for him and few friends.

NETWORK BREAKFAST, 8 JUNE
Book your seat for this month’s Network Breakfast meeting at the Restaurant on Wednesday the 8th, with Mike Handcock who was nominated as Australia’s top speaker for 2014 and knows how to keep an audience on the edge of their seats.
