The Johannesburg Cap Classique & Champagne Festival, presented by Sanlam Private Wealth, is back, and promises Joburg bubbly fans the opportunity to indulge in some of South Africa’s finest Méthode Cap Classiques (MCC) and Sparkling Wines as well as a selection of France’s best Champagnes and leading Italian Proseccos.
Event organiser Darielle Robertson says, “Gautengers definitely love their bubbly. Last year’s event was a a roaring success with a sell-out on both days, so we are delighted to be back with an event that promises to be even bigger and better and with more bubbly than before.”
A range of popular favourites will be available, such as Krone, Simonsig, L’Ormarins, Black Elephant Vintners, Silverthorn, Boschendal, Tanzanite, Bon Courage, Paul Rene, Graham Beck, Siwela Wines, Steenberg, Colmant and Pongracz as well as French Champagnes from Veuve Clicquot, Taittinger, Lanson, Pol Roger, Luc Belaire, Bollinger and Nicolas Feuillatte and Italian Proseccos from Profumi, Da Luca and Valdo.
Live music will add to the atmosphere, and a variety of delicious foods will be available.
Adds Robertson; “The festival will have a chic, but laid-back, garden party feel and – as was the case last year – the theme will be Blue & White, with the best dressed lady at Saturday’s gig winning fabulous prizes including a year’s supply of bubbly from L’Oramrins as well as a bespoke bag from Okapi.”
Carl Roothman, CEO of Sanlam Private Wealth, says, “We’re excited to be part of this luxury lifestyle event once again. It provides us with an ideal platform to collaborate with fellow masters of their craft and create an exclusive experience for our guests.
“Over the two days, the same characteristics that inspire and drive us to grow and preserve wealth – such as practice, patience, meticulous attention to detail and even the need to take calculated risks – will also be evident in the delectable MCCs, Champagnes, food and music on offer.”
The festival will take place on Saturday 4 and Sunday 5 April 2020 at the Inanda Country Club.
Tickets can be purchased from Webtickets for R395 per person, which includes a glass of bubbly and 10 tasting coupons. Additional coupons can be purchased at the event.
