Those fond of the odd sparkling tipple could find their perfect event in the Champagne Festival at Franschhoek,
South Africa on December 9th and 10th.
Every year, the festival brings crowds of smartly-attired visitors to the town of Franschhoek, which is situated in the heart of the so-called winelands of
South Africa.
As you might expect, the festival celebrates all aspects of everyone's favourite celebratory drink with a host of tastings and shopping opportunities carried out in style.
Visitors to this
South Africa event can also expect to enjoy the very best of the region's cuisine, with chefs serving up oyster and salmon dishes, as well as strawberries and foie gras.
Guests eager to take home some bubbly will be able to peruse a wide range of mass-market and exclusive champagnes to present to loved ones as Christmas gifts or to enjoy themselves, as well as shop for other items at Franschhoek's numerous boutiques.
