Imagine a seaside village become engulfed in bright colours, blooming flowers, floating bubbles and thousands of people drinking Cap Classique!
During this weekend you can stroll the streets of Paternoster and explore all it has to offer while stopping at tasting stations to taste bubblies and wines and have the opportunity to stock up your wine collection with more than 30 brands being sold at cellar-door prices.
The tickets are sold in five phases - this simply means five pricing brackets. All ticketholders will get the same experience.
We are doing this in order to plan ahead and sell most of the tickets far ahead of the festival so that you can book your accommodation early and we can put the bubbles on ice.
Blomme & Bubbles is a weekend festival. There are over 150 wines to taste, art to see and experiences to have! Buy a weekend pass and book your accommodation in Paternoster to completely submerse yourself in the fantasyland of sparkles and blooms.
Weekend Pass holders also get the chance to enter the lucky draw for more than 30 cases of Wine!
Day Passes will become available in July 2024, but they will not have the grand opportunity to enter for more than 30 cases of wine.
The Festival aims to benefit all of Paternoster! With the proceeds and influence of the festival going to educating local hospitality professionals on wine with the Cape Wine Academy. Last year we trained 28 waiters in wine service and 9 obtained the First Star from the Cap Classique Academy!
Participation in Blomme & Bubbles as an exhibitor is the privilege of the invited only. Wineries are hand-selected to receive invitations based on longstanding relationships and participation in the festival's ethos.
