The centrepiece of the festival will be a grand marquee on the sprawling lawns surrounding Franschhoek's famous Huguenot Monument, where bubbly stalls will be interspersed with stalls from the local restaurants offering delicious delicacies to match.
This year the festival will be open from 6pm to 10pm on Friday 4 December and then between 12pm and 6pm on both Saturday 5 and Sunday 6.
Live music, provided by artists such as Jared, Gerard (previously a member of Delta Blues), D7 Fresh Acapella and many more, will set the tone, and local winemakers will be on hand to chat about the making of Cap Classique wines in the Franschhoek valley. The theme for this year's festival is ‘white with a touch of black', with a prize being awarded to the best dressed couple of each day.
The entrance fee is R180 per person for access, a tasting glass and a complimentary booklet containing 10 tasting coupons. Thereafter all tastings will be charged on consumption.
