An unforgettable food and wine experience!

The annual Cape Times V&A Waterfront Wine Affair is taking place from 4 to 7 May 2010. A state-of-the-art marquee on the roof of the Breakwater parking garage serves as the venue for this well loved food and wine festival. The Cape’s top wine estates, producers and boutique wineries will showcase their wines, alongside carefully matched gourmet exhibitors and award-winning Waterfront restaurants, offering delicious accompaniments.

Weave through the stands to sample wine-pairing favourites including olives, cheeses, charcuterie, pestos, oysters and sushi. Those with a sweet tooth can enjoy a variety of chocolates, nougat and preserves on offer.
