It’s (pretty much) here.
Believe it or not, the much anticipated Revolutionary weekend is upon us.
As you start to pack your bag with excitement, allow us to add a few items to your survival pack.
Bring sunblock, sunglasses (for the sensitive eyes) and a lekker hat.
It is hot. You will be learning just as much about the soil as the sun of the appellation.
Friday night’s BBQ is outside, like any real braai, and it can get chilly (read: windy) so bring a jacket and a (SR2011) scarf.
New (and old) revolutionaries should read what the veterans at Batonage say in their excellent post: A survival guide to a revolution: The Swartland Revolution 2012
“Nobody “attends” a revolution; you live through it and you experience it.”
With advice on wardrobe, pharmaceuticals, your liver, Babbelaas Burgers and Social Media they conclude: “Arrive in whatever mood you feel like… you will leave in a jovial, relaxed and revolutionary mood.”
REGISTRATION, on the legendary Stoep of The Royal Hotel, starts at 4pm Friday. It is over at 5.30pm, we want to start tasting! Make sure you know UNDER WHO’S NAME your ticket is booked.
You will receive a neck tag that you must wear all weekend to enter tastings and events. Wristbands for MEAL ONLY TICKET HOLDERS must also be collected during this time.
SHUTTLES at previous events revolutionaries have hassled us for shuttles to get home, this year I organised it but they received to few bookings to warrent the trip .This is your last chance to try get them there! BOOK NOW> arrive alive.
And lastly, as you get ready to come to our lovely patch of earth, please
step away from your perfumes, aftershaves and lipsticks.
(The sharp scents interfere with your tasting experience and the lipstick makes the glasses hard to wash. Simple as that)
We look forward to welcoming you!
From Durban to Deutschland and anywhere else, travel safe and see you at the Royal!
Excited Helena
