SUMMER’S almost here and what better way to celebrate the start of this fabulous season and festive time than at this year’s Bubbly & Gin Festival, which takes place at Plaisir Wine Estate in Franschhoek over the weekend of 11 and 12 November.
Setting the tone will be the live entertainment by Shenfm as you sip on glasses of bubbly and gin cocktails throughout the day. Dress in your finest green and white attire as the best-dressed man and woman will be awarded a fabulous prize. Word of advice to those who like to glam it up: your heels won’t like this grass, so dust off those fabulous wedges and designer sneakers to add to your outfit.
