Celebrate the last few days of summer in style and head off to Leopard’s Leap Family Vineyards on Saturday, 16 March for Franschhoek Summer Wines. Regarded as one of South Africa’s leading wine destinations, more than 30 of the Valley’s finest wineries will be showcasing their top summer wines at this exclusive event.

To ensure they don’t go hungry visitors will be able to purchase mouth-watering deli-style food from Leopard’s Leap Family Vineyards Rotisserie Harvest Table, including roast chicken and seasonal salads as well as Franschhoek Trout tartlets. Leopard’s Leap will be showcasing their newly released Culinaria Brut Méthode Cap Classique at Summer Wines. Round off your meal with delicious home-made ice cream from the Ice Cream Bar.

Taking full advantage of the glorious summer days 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. Wine aficionadas can look forward to tutored tastings which will take place at 1pm and 3pm on the day.
