Cape Town - Summer wine – something so wonderful a song was written about it way back in the 1960s.
The two go hand in hand when next Saturday’s Franschhoek Summer Wines Festival takes place at Leopard’s Leap Family Vineyards, where you’ll be able to taste the Franschhoek vignerons’ choice for the season.
All whites, rosés, and methode cap classiques – no reds – will be showcased by 16 producers in the valley including Antonji Rupert, Boschendal, Glenwood, Grande Provence, and Haute Cabriere.
The winemakers have carefully selected their favourites and invite you to join them in sampling these superb wines.
Enjoy delicious food from the rotisserie kitchen at Leopard’s Leap, as you relax on the veranda or the sprawling lawn with views of the valley, while listening to the sounds of local performers.
Keep things cool and dress elegantly in white.
l Tickets are available from www.webtickets.co.za at R150 a person. This includes a wine glass and a tasting of all the wines on show between 12pm and 5pm.
