Backsberg Estate Cellars
The warm-blooded blues-riffs from some of South Africa’s foremost blues artists will heat things up at Backsberg Estate Cellars in Paarl this winter with this famous wine estate’s inaugural series of Brandy and Blues Evenings.

Adding to the atmosphere of authentic blues music is the fact that the events will take place in Backsberg’s Historic Vat Cellar, a piece of South African wine history in its own right. The atmosphere will be intimate, the sounds electric.

Piet Botha and Jake Gunn kick-off the winter Brandy and Blues Series on Friday 5 May. This intimate gig not only allows guests to get up close and personal with the artists, but the music will be complemented with some real comforting winter sustenance. A glass of Sydney Back Brandy or glühwein will greet guests on arrival, followed by a two-course dinner of slow-roasted lamb shank and Sydney Back Brandy pudding. Backsberg’s award-winning range of wines will also be available.

Guests are asked to be at the Vat Cellar by 18h30, with the artist’s first set commencing at 18h45. Dinner will be served at 19h30 during the first intermission.

Tickets are R300 per person inclusive of a glass of glühwein or brandy, dinner including a glass of wine and entertainment.

Bookings can be done through Backsberg by telephone on +27.218755952 or via e-mail at restaurant@backsberg.co.za.

The rest of the Brandy and Blues season features the following artists: Valiant Swart (2 June), Gerald Clark (7 July) and Albert Frost (1 September).
