Tramonto Venue proudly presents the “Great Grapes!” Winefest – Uncork the fun!

On the 21st of March 2009, The Ultimate Wine Company will bring 8 tons of grapes to Tramonto, which will be stomped by the festival goers themselves!

Several high profile personalities / celebrities like Christina Storm (Bienkie in Egoli) and Mandi du Plooy (Lara in Egoli) will help to stomp the grapes, while dDisselblom, Stefan Ludik, Munro and Jan Hoogendyk will keep us entertained.

Family is the key word for the day. There will be loads of entertainment for children, such as an animal touch farm, horse carriage rides, jumping castles and lots more! For the older generation we have several wine farms’ wines available for wine tasting and to purchase. For dads, the Super 14 will be shown on big screen TV’s in the beer tent, whilst the ladies will be tempted with oysters and champagne, cheese and olives, chocolate and cupcakes and so much more!

“Roll up your jeans, hitch up your skirt, and loose the shoes! Hop into an oak barrel, and start stomping!”

Several schools, businesses and churches are participating in the day’s events and are encouraged to enter teams to stomp against each other!

It promises to be a day filled with wonderful food, stalls, stomping wine together, and wine tasting, reconnecting with family and old friends and making new friends!

The festival promises to become a yearly event and for sure a highlight in the George area’s calendar!”
