5 REASONS TO GET EXCITED ABOUT THE 2018 PLETT WINE & BUBBLY FESTIVAL 29 & 30 SEPTEMBER

Save the date! Don’t miss a Plett weekend dedicated to the finer things in life, all wrapped up for you at the sun-drenched and sparkling Central Beach in Plettenberg Bay. Hosted by Plett Tourism Association, it is the fifth festival dedicated to wine, bubbles and the finer things in life. Wear something sexy, like a smile. Experience the blue skies, chin-chin and make seaside memories.

Here are five reasons we feel you really shouldn’t miss the Plett Wine & Bubbly Festival this year:

1.       The festival is on Plett’s Central Beach

The Festival takes place on the edge of Plett’s popular Central Beach, one of the most beautiful in the country. With spectacular backdrop views across the bay of Robberg and the Tsitsikamma Mountains, it’s a unique opportunity to experience boutique wines from the region.

2.       Plett’s award-winning wines

Relatively new to the wine industry, Plett’s first vineyards were planted 17 years ago. You can taste the products from ten of Plett’s wine farms at the Festival - Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Rosé and plenty of Méthode Cap Classique. You can chat to the wine makers and taste their award winning wines at the Festival.

3.       Tastes of Plett

What would good wine and bubbly be without delicious food? The Festival pairs some of Plett’s most iconic restaurants to bring a truly Plett taste sensation to the festival. Eat local and drink local with artisan cheeses, charcuterie and breads, sushi, savouries and of course – beautiful, succulent cultivated oysters.

1. Swirl, Sip & Savour at the Plett Wine Theatre
