The Festival offers visitors the opportunity to sample wines from approx. 50 top wine estates. And if you love bubbles, you’re in for a treat with a variety of Cap Classique, Sparkling Wine, and Prosecco for all to enjoy.
The Pick n Pay Fresh Food Market will serve an assortment of dishes prepared with fresh ingredients such as fish and chips, fresh salads, sushi and indulgent cheese and charcuterie boards. Pick n Pay’s Burger & Pizza Trucks will also serve their popular dishes!
