Diemersfontein Pinotage on Tap 2008 in Wellington
In celebration of the new 'coffee and chocolate' Pinotage '08 of Diemersfontein Wine Estate
The award winning Diemersfontein Pinotage has become one of the most famous South African Pinotages.
If you haven’t been able to sit on the terrace of Diemersfontein wine estate sipping this Pinotage yet, the Pinotage on Tap events are an excellent way to redeem yourself.
When the going gets tough, the reasons increase for staging a really great party with friends, family and work colleagues.
At only a R10 increase on the ticket price, Diemersfontein wine estate, the makers of the famous ‘coffee and chocolate’ Pinotage 2008, have kept the format the same as last year - the more upfront buying of their new Pinotage '08, the cheaper the tickets are for Pinotage on Tap.
And don't forget if you buy 24 bottles of any of the Diemersfontein wines up to end of July 2008 you stand a chance to win 2 AIRTICKETS to your favourite wine region in Europe!
Winners will be announced at Pinotage on Tap (POT) Cape Town or POT Gauteng depending on where the winners live!
At Pinotage on Tap you will be able to sip the new release Pinotage from oak barrels at stations placed around the estate for Capetonians and Inanda Club for Gauteng party-goers.
Canapés that match with the Pinotage will be circulated; strawberries for dipping in fountains of chocolate will be aplenty.
Mexican chili hot chocolate or cocoa dusted cappuccinos will be on tap; slices of the gooiest of chocolate cakes will be on sale, and later on in the afternoon, if hunger still bites, the braais will be lit.
Fun and frivolous Pinotage challenges,will include:
- Test your aim with Paint-ball Art
- Take home a Grape Shot (photo) of you and yours
- Gently Scar'd with the gorgeous Carice as lead
- Ama Ambush LIVE - a new Afro-sounding band that will be launched at Pinotage on Tap
- Cape Town - they are hosting James Stewart (remember the Usual) and band with well-known tracks as well as new compositions, and popular band Plush.
Date: 27 September 2008
Venue: Diemersfontein Wine Estate
Location: Wellington, Western Cape
Time: 12:30 – 17:30
As the months ahead unfold, some of their challenges may morph into more frivolity, the canapýÿ creating and tasting (no beetroot balls this year), will be happening and the Pinotage grapes in the tanks will continue to transform and mature for the celebration of the new Pinotage release.
And we will continue to pay homage to the rain gods and look forward to welcoming you to Pinotage on Tap 2008.
