Bring your beret to the Franschhoek Bastille Festival
This year's Franschhoek Bastille Festival is to be held on 16 and 17 July. The Food & Wine Marquee will be set against the backdrop of the historic Huguenot Monument.
Ample parking on the grounds allows for comfortable walking distance to and from the village. You can sample the superb Franschhoek wines on offer or tickle your taste buds with the selection of gourmet fare available to purchase from some of Franschhoek’s well-known eateries.
There's also the quirky caricature artist who captures your Bastille experience, the Porcupine Ridge Barrel Rolling Competition and a dedicated children’s area.
Tickets to the Food & Wine Marquee cost R220 person and include entry, a complimentary tasting glass, a booklet of five wine-tasting coupons as well as a R20 wine voucher to be redeemed at the festival. Additional coupons can be purchased on the day. Tickets are limited and to avoid disappointment on missing out on all the action pre-booking through www.webtickets is advised.
