MOSSEL BAY NEWS - The second annual Craft Beer & Wine Festival takes place at ReedValley on Saturday, 2 December.
The goal of the festival is to raise funds for the Nederduitsch Hervormde Kerk van Afrika.
Last year's event, which took place at the ATKV amphitheatre in Hartenbos, was a tremendous success with visitors from all over the Garden Route attending the festival.
The weekend's activities start with a gala event on the Friday night.
The evening will consist of a fundraising dinner and auction, with the proceeds going to the Nederduitsch Hervormde Kerk van Afrika.
Apart from a delectable three-course dinner that will be prepared by the ReedValley kitchen, guests can also look forward to a performance by the magnetic Michael Lindt.
This versatile singer/songwriter not only composes the majority of his own songs but has also written songs for major artists such as Kurt Darren, Nicholis Louw, Romanz and Julius Magan.
The gala event will start at 18:00 and tickets are available on the SHOWS page of the ReedValley website or at 3@1 at R200 per person.
Saturday
The Saturday promises to be a fun-filled day with stalls opening at 10:00.
Entry to the festival between 10:00 and 18:00 is free and everyone is welcome.
Last year the beer tent sold more than 800 tickets and Mossel Bay brewery, Glenhoff, will again be at the festival to supply locals with their favourite brew!
Pretoria-based brewery, Zeppelin Craft Brewery, will also be joining the festival and whether you prefer a Blonde, IPA or Stout - they've got something for all beer lovers.
Not into beer? Don't worry - the Zeppelin team will also be presenting a craft gin on the day.
With a large play area and jungle gym for the kids, ReedValley's export wine range and authentic Portuguese cuisine, a tea garden, and plenty of stalls, the festival will offer something for the entire family.
4x4 Treasure Hunt
After last year's huge turnout, Campworld Safari Outdoor Centre Mossel Bay will be organising the 4x4 Treasure Hunt again.
The entry fee for this event is R400 per vehicle. This is for two people and includes two food and two beer/wine vouchers.
Extra passengers are welcome at R50 each.
The first-prize winner will receive two nights' accommodation for two people sharing in an ocean view room (B&B) at Oubaai Hotel Golf Resort & Spa.
The 4x4 Treasure Hunt will start at 09:00 and tickets are available at Campworld Safari Outdoor Centre in Voorbaai.
End off the day's festivities by joining the festival organisers for an exclusive performance by Cape Town band, Kanimambo.
This seven-piece live salsa band was a hit at ReedValley's recent One Night in Portugal event and had guests on the dance floor until the early hours of the morning.
Doors for the concert will open at 18:30 and the music will start at about 20:00. Tickets are available at R150 per person and can be booked on ReedValley's website.
Many of last year's core exhibitors are taking part again and the organising committee is looking forward to welcoming Glenhoff, Campworld Safari Outdoor Centre, Volkswagen and Toyota back to this year's event.
