Events: Stellenbosch Wine Festival (2008)

The Stellenbosch Wine Festival is here! For those of you that enjoy good wine, this is the place to be...

The official blurb is...

'Learn more about wine and get up close and personal with leading winemakers at the hands-on WINE Magazine Tasting Theatre at this year’s Stellenbosch Wine Festival taking place from 31 July to 3 August 2008 at the Paul Roos Centre in Stellenbosch. With over 100 wineries on show, more than 500 wines to taste, mouth-watering delicacies and amazing entertainment – all under one roof – there is ample reason to head for the heart of the Stellenbosch winelands.'

But, in saying that, the really important information I have gathered about the festival can be summarized as follows:

1. 31 July to 3 August 2008 at the Paul Roos Centre in Stellenbosch - cnr Piet Retief & Suidwal Street.
2. Pay the entrance fee (between R100 and R350) and get verschnookered on the 'more than 500 wines to taste'. Booking at CompuTicket. Entrance on Saturday is R120 & children under 18 are free.
3. Enjoy the 'mouth-watering delicacies and amazing entertainment'.

See you all there on Saturday... It should be good! And be safe, take a nominated driver!
