DURBANVILLE Wine Valley will help banish the cold and ensure a fantastic time too with the much-anticipated return of its annual Soup & Sip winelands experience. From July 27 to 31, wineries of the valley will sell delicious winter soup and sides alongside tastings of fine wines.
“We’re excited to welcome visitors back for Soup & Sip this year, which features many new recipes and experiences,” says Durbanville Wine Valley manager Natasha de Villiers. “At the same time, these colder months are a reminder of those less fortunate, which is why Soup & Sip is linked to a charity drive during the month in which Mandela Day occurs.”
Soup & Sip offers a variety of outstanding experiences from sit-down dinners to quick-bites – all with the chance to sample and purchase some of the Cape’s finest wines. This year, local chefs teamed up again to cook for a local feeding scheme on Mandela Day.
“The Mandela Day soup drive is our introduction to the ‘feel good’ comfort soup brings, and our opportunity to giving back as a community,” says Natasha. The day is held annually on July 18 and encourages charitable activities as reminder of the 67 years Nelson Mandela spent fighting for justice, equality and human rights for all.
Through the efforts of the Durbanville Wine Valley farms, soup was produced for Tannie Doekies’ Soup Kitchen, which was the beneficiary of Soup & Sip last year too. The community feeding scheme is in Fisantekraal, feeds some 300 people-in-need every night, and has been in operation for over two decades.
More details of Soup & Sip menus and pricing are available from the farms, on the Durbanville Wine Valley Facebook page and website.
