Evergreen Manor: Helderberg Wine Festival

Book now for accommodation at Evergreen Manor & Spa (021 886-6832) as you swing into summer in style this year with the Helderberg Wine Festival from Thursday, 15 November to Sunday 18 November. With around 30 wineries from Sir Lowry’s Pass Village to Somerset West, the Baden Powell Rd area and Stellenbosch participating, the 2012 festival offers a range of activities at each cellar for young and old.

The festival kicks off on Thursday with “The Six Senses Evening” from 18h00-21h00 at Waterkloof Wines where twenty three of the participating wineries and ten restaurants are offering their wines for tasting and small portions of summery tapas-style eats as part of the ticket price of R150 pp. (Includes tasting glass, unlimited tastings and R100 vouchers for food items). Tickets on-line at www.ticketbreak.co.za or from the winery. Walk-ins welcome.
   

The event continues on Friday with live music, kiddies programmes, exhibitions, shows, food & craft markets, special festival dishes in the participating restaurants and award-winning wines which draw the crowds to this laid-back event over the four day period. Local charities always benefit and the festival organisors this year will support Amorim Cork’s “CorkLife project” which aims to create sustainable work opportunities by re-using old corks. Visitors and wineries will help to collect used corks and can deposit them into the branded boxes on display at most participating wineries.

  
Festival packs are R75 pp for a one-day pass and R120 pp for a multi-day pass. A combination Six Senses & Multi-day pass is R240 pp (Save R30).Pre-bookings can be done at www.ticketbreak.co.za. For more information, visit our website at www.helderbergwinefestival.co.za.

Plettenberg Bay Game Reserve: PAWS Street Collection

PAWS is hosting their next Street Collection on Friday, 30 November 2012. If you are willing, they are looking for volunteers to help with this event.

Contact Di Butlin on 082 569 2571 if you're able to help out.

These last two months, we've shown a lot of interest in helping out PAWS - this is because not all animals are lucky enough to be afforded an entire game reserve to live out their lives, in peace and with protection.

We hope you showed your support, and made a difference!
