CAROLINE'S RED WINE REVIEW 2023
Thu Jul 27, 17:00 - Thu Jul 27, 21:00
THE WATERFRONT LOOKOUT VENUE
ABOUT
Join us for an unmissable evening of walk around wine tasting with fellow wine lovers, collectors, sommeliers and prestigious producers. Upon arrival you will take a crystal tasting glass and a programme and freely walk around, tasting and discussing red wine with the wine makers at the tables. An incredible chance to meet the passionate people behind the labels, an opportunity usually not available to us. Each producer will show his/her very best red wine, a top accolade achiever.
Time: 17h00 - 21h00 ( 5 - 9pm ) Plenty of secure covered parking 100m from the venue.
If you are looking for a quick bite or coffee before, during or after the event, there are going to be food trucks right outside the tasting venue. Ardi's Schwarma and Burger; Ardi's Coffee; Love Pizza. See more in advance: https://ardis.co.za/food-trucks/ https://lovepizza.co.za/
There will be two food trucks right outside the venue, so that you can grab a bite before, during or after the event. Love Pizza and Ardi's Schwarma & Burger, and coffee. Please note that NO FOOD OR COFFEE WILL BE ALLOWED INSIDE THE MAIN TASTING ARENA. There will be tables at the food area, but no chairs, as the food is just to fill the gap!
