The world class audio system is also set to enhance the audio-visual experience at the fest.
Spicing up the weekend will be the ‘SulaFest Bazaar’ with a selection of fun and funky items for sale.
Activities such as a run, yoga classes, foot massages, tarot reading, wine tours and tastings, grape stomping and a variety of other activities will definitely add to that “fest” feel!
Apart from wine from the vineyards, the fest-goers can also enjoy a wide selection of drinks including beer, vodka, whiskey, tequila, cognac and liqueur from around the world by Sula’s import arm Sula Selections and others. RAW Pressery cold pressed juices will also ensure no one goes thirsty and will be offering healthy juices and drinks over the festival weekend.
The likes of the Bombay Food Truck, Busago, Mainland China, Maroosh and Woodside Inn and many more will serve up great food to go with the wide selection of wine and drinks.
Last year’s ‘Tent City’ where you can camp out amidst the cool vineyards was a huge hit so it is back even bigger and better!
As always, SulaFest goes out to benefit locally based and national NGO’s and non-profits.
