Bubbly lovers will be delighted to hear that after a two-year absence, the
Franschhoek Cap Classique & Champagne Festival is back!
Once again presented by Sanlam Private Wealth, the two-day event is set to take
place at the Franschhoek Monument on Saturday December 3 and
Sunday December 4 from 11:00 to 16:00.
Tickets are now available from Webtickets
and cost R450 per person – including a souvenir tasting glass and 10
tasting coupons. The first 100 buyers can take advantage of an early bird special
and purchase tickets for only R400 per person.
Festivalgoers will get to enjoy Cap Classiques from Graham Beck, Anthonij Rupert,
Villiera, Morena and many more as well as Champagnes from a still to be confirmed
list of French producers. Fabulous fare from a variety of stalls and local favourite
restaurants will keep the hunger pangs at bay, and live music from local superstar
Amy Jones and DJ Shen FM will add to the elegant yet laid back atmosphere of the
garden-party-style event.
As in previous years, the dress code is Blue & White, and those judged the best
dressed will be in line to win great prizes on both days.
Festival organiser Darielle Robertson says: “The 2019 Cap Classique & Champagne
Festival was completely sold out weeks before the event, and tickets for the 2020
show were selling like hotcakes before we had to cancel due to the pandemic. Last
year’s festival became another Covid-19 casualty due to lockdown restrictions.
“Tickets will be much sought after as bubbly lovers are going to want to make up for
the missed two years, so pre-booking is essential as the new look and feel allows for
a limited number of guests only.”
Adds Theesan Moodley, CEO of Sanlam Private Wealth: “As always, we are excited
to partner with this luxury lifestyle event as it provides us with the perfect platform
to collaborate with fellow experts in their craft and create an exclusive experience
for guests.”
A full list of the Cap Classique and Champagne producers attending the festival will
be released soon.
