There will also be seafood on offer and DJ Paul Gurry, who is always amusing and knows how to make a crowd dance will be a pleasure to your ears.
TICKETS
Tickets are currently available and cost $30. This ticket cost includes entry as well as a $6 voucher to go towards your first glass.
There is also a VIP ticket (limited to about 130 people) but this has already sold out. This year the package features 6 hours of champagne by G.H. Mumm as well as sparkling, red and white wines, beer, cider and non-alcoholic drinks. If you want to get this package next year, you’d better get in fast when tickets go on sale!
MASTERCLASSES
For those who want not only to drink on the day but also to learn, there are 2 masterclasses to choose from. One is Champagne vs Sparkling Wine and lasts 45 minutes. You will learn about the two different styles. The other is a more sensory experience in which you will taste 2 champagnes and 2 sparkling wines while blindfolded so as not to be prejudiced by labels or sight. Only once you have tasted them and decided which is your favourite will the names be revealed! All proceeds of the Masterclasses will go to the wonderful charity, Can Do 4 Kids.
