In 1971 South Africa’s premier wine producing region, Stellenbosch, released the country’s first wine modelled on the famous sparkling wines of the Champagne region in France. 39 years later, we have the privilege of announcing the arrival of the inaugural Dorp Street MCC and Champagne festival.
|
| This prestigious event, taking place on 28th August 2010, is aimed at providing a personalised, bespoke, memorable and compelling wine experience as well as a celebration of the lifestyle which Champagne and Méthode Cap Classique promote.
It will provide a platform for a small group of like-minded people (only 200 tickets available), who share the same passions, lifestyle, needs and desires to network and enjoy some fine exponents of these styles of wine. It is sure to become a social highlight on the annual South African wine calendar. |
