The Bubbly Festival – Joburg’s celebration of South Africa’s finest Cap Classiques as well as others from around the world including Champagne – is set to take place in Hyde Park for three days in May.
Bubbly aficionados, epicureans and those who love the good things in life can spend the weekend of Friday, May 18 through to Sunday, May 20, popping corks, filling flutes and sipping some of the best sparkles around while snacking on fine foods and listening to live music.
The Bubbly Festival will be held at The Park House of Events on 7, which is located in the Hyde Park Shopping Centre (in the space previously occupied by the Imax theatre), and will feature some of South Africa’s finest Methodé Cap Classiques as well as some French Champagnes.
