Participating wineries include La Bri, Morena, Colmant, Môreson, Anthonij Rupert's Cape of Good Hope and Terra del Capo, Franschhoek Cellars, Bellingham, Noble Hill, Leopard's Leap, La Motte, Solms-Delta and Haut Espoir.

Visitors will be able to purchase deli-style food from the Harvest Table, prepared by the chefs in the Leopard's Leap Kitchen and round off the meal with an ice cream from the Ice Cream Bar.

The festival will be open from 12pm until 5pm and the theme for this year's event is 'elegantly white'.

Tickets cost R180 per person, which includes a tasting of all the wines on show and can be purchased directly from www.webtickets.co.za. Booking is essential, as tickets are limited to 500 people only.

Wine aficionadas can look forward to tutored tastings, which will take place at 1pm and 3pm on the day. As seating is limited, visitors are requested to pre-book their seats, which can be done via az.gro.keohhcsnarf@stneve.
