The Rotary Club of St Francis and Investec are once again hosting Wine on Water, which takes place on the beautiful St Francis Bay waterways on 24 & 25 February 2023. The event is the Club’s flagship fundraising event, and all proceeds go toward community upliftment projects and local charities.
A hop-on hop-off experience, ticketholders will have the opportunity to taste wines from over 30 wine estates with some of the best South African wines on offer, as well as some award winning locally produced gin and craft beer.
Members of the public also have an opportunity to win a case of what’s on offer by purchasing a raffle ticket on Quicket for R200 per ticket.
The event is completely sold out but for those lucky enough to have tickets here’s how to get started :
You must present the ticket documentation that you received from Quicket when arriving at the ticket desk at The Quays Restaurant located in Sea Glades Drive to register and collect your WoW kit.
