The Rotary Club of St Francis is hosting Wine on Water, which takes place on the beautiful St Francis Bay waterways on 24 & 25 February 2023, sponsored again by Investec. 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. You can present this information on your cell phone. However, we recommend you print this document out if possible.
If you booked through Quicket and can’t find your tickets, please contact Quicket on 021 424 9308 or support@quicket.co.za for them to be re-sent to you.
We encourage you to register in advance to beat the queue!
Collect your wristband, WoW souvenir tasting glass and map at the ticket desk from 12h00 until 17h00 on Thursday, 23rd February and from 10h00 to 16h00 on Friday, 24th and Saturday, 25th February at the ticket desk at Quays Restaurant in Sea Glades Drive.
Your Map and information booklet contain everything you need to know, along with notes on event etiquette and other helpful information.
NB: Your WoW wristband must be worn during the event to give you access to the barges and wine-tasting decks. No Band, No Entry!
Once registered, you can plan your route and start from 12 noon on both Friday 24th & Saturday 25th, at any point on the WoW map. Remember you can move between tasting points by barge, vehicle, Tuk Tuk service or on foot.
