Paul René Cap Classique will again host the annual Splash of Pink Bubbly Festival in Robertson – just 1km or so outside the town on the McGregor road. Monica and Henk van Niekerk invite you to join them at Wonderfontein, the home of Paul René Cap Classique – arrive in style, wearing a splash of pink, ready to join in the celebration.
From late-morning until the sun goes down – 11am to 5pm – on Saturday 1 November, this much-loved event combines the charm and beauty of the vineyards and the Langeberg mountains, the warmth of a community coming together, good music, great food and some of South Africa’s best sparkling wines made according to the traditional method for which Champagne is famous.
To be expected wherever there is an appreciation for the finer things in life, the Paul René Cap Classique collection includes the Chardonnay Brut (Blanc de Blancs), the Brut Rosé (from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay) and the Nectar, a blend with a caramel finish for those who prefer their bubbles a bit sweeter. Paul René Cap Classique has been applauded internationally – most recently at the 2025 Fine Wine Awards, one of the largest wine competitions in South Africa, where the Chardonnay Brut won gold with a score of 95/100.
Festival-goers can expect the bubblies to be served ice-cold at a special festival price, gin combinations by Six Dogs, Saldanha Bay oysters, Norwegian salmon and other fresh treats to enjoy in the tent or picnic-style on the lawn. The Moonshine Band will be playing music all festival long, you can have a game of boules, badminton or croquet, plus there’s a swimming pool and fun activities arranged for the children.
Only 250 tickets available online only from Webtickets at R325 per adult (children admitted free of charge), with the ticket price covering a bubbly glass, a welcome drink and a ‘goodie bag’ containing “a surprise or two”. The venue: Wonderfontein Farm, Robertson. NB no tickets sold at the festival. Questions? Talk to Henk: email admin@paulrenemcc.co.za or phone 083 380 3980.
