The annual Shiraz & Charcuterie Festival, where enthusiasts of the varietal can indulge in wines from some of the country’s top Shiraz and Syrah producers, while also enjoying platters of charcuterie and listening to laid back live music, takes place on Saturday, 25 May.
This year, the organisers have added an extra element to the proceedings, with a range of artisanal cheeses (hence the updated moniker to include cheese) from leading Cape Town producer Puglia Cheese as well as cheese and charcuterie from Wild Peacock, and more charcuterie from Joostenberg Bistro & Butchery and Richard Bosman. There will also be a bounty of olives and all things tapas.
The live music this year is courtesy the always popular Newton & Co.
The Shiraz, Charcuterie & Cheese Festival takes place on Saturday 25 May at Anthonij Rupert Wyne from 11h00 to 16h00. (Tastings: 11h00-14h00. Sales & live music 14h00-16h00.)
Tickets, available from Webtickets, cost R350 pp and include a branded glass and a taste of all the wines on offer from the likes of Holden Manz, Stellenzicht Wines, Tokara, La Motte, Bon Courage Estate, The Stellenbosch Collection (Rust-en-Vrede, Stellenbosch Reserve), Anthonij Rupert Wyne, Hartenberg Wine Estate and more.
Several producers will also have special offers on the day for those festivalgoers wanting to buy wine.
