02/03/2010 Paarl Ommiberg "Round the Rock" Festival - Saturday 13th March 2010
Taste the nouveau wine from the 2010 vintage with zweibelkuchen (traditional onion tart) or try your hand, or feet, with grape stomping! For those with weary feet from trudging around the festival's participating wine farms a "vinotherapy foot massage" is just the tonic for you. Win a "wine sculpture" by guessing its total weight or just relax and enjoy some live music while eating our food & wine pairing under our oak trees on the lawns. Watch a gourmet breakfast demonstration with our resident chef, Janet Walls, or simply ponder the beauty of the setting with snacks and tapas. There'll be no shortage of variety on the day, you can even browse our delicatessen counter for local produce or buy some unique and stylish Sequoia jewelry. For those families with children, apart from the grape stomping, there'll be a fun slip/slide or a tractor & trailer ride to enjoy! So book now for lunch or the breakfast demonstration to avoid disapointment.
