I’ll be giving away 5 sets of double tickets valued at R2000 in total to attend the festival on Sunday the 30th of November 2014 – theme: Parasols & Panama Hats.

Tickets are valued at R200 per person, including access to the festival, a complementary tasting glass and tasting coupons (extra coupons can be purchased at the festival). Tickets can also be bought online at www.webtickets.co.za, with a 10% discount if they are purchased using a MasterCard card.

I’ve been privileged enough to attend this festival for the past 2 years as a guest, and it was my absolute highlight on the wine calendar in the Western Cape. The atmosphere, setting, quality of offering and general festive vibe is unrivaled, and a total must for any wine/MCC lover in South Africa. Make the effort to dress the part – it adds to the fabulous spirit of drinking and enjoying MCC.
