Picking Bunches Wine and Music Fest
Live music was presented by Edenvale’s very own Miguel Pregueiro.
Modderfontein was the place to be on March 30 and 31 when Liquor City Stoneridge hosted a plethora of wineries from South Africa’s Cape routes.
The Picking Bunches Wine and Music Festival saw friends and families letting loose with some fine wine, good food, lots of dancing and music at Queens Street’s Bird & Sculpture Park.
The event was divided into two sections: food and music, and the wine tasting sections.
Live music was presented by Edenvale’s very own Miguel Pregueiro, who covered a diverse spectrum of music genres and kept the audience entertained all day long.
Miguel said performing at the festival was an absolute pleasure.
“Everyone seemed to be having a great time and it looked like a great success.”
Authentic Portuguese-cuisine vendors brought out their braai stand trucks, beer tents and the best food to the tables and a cheerful traditional Portuguese dance was performed.
Mike Bairos, the owner of Liquor City Stoneridge, said over 200 different wines were available for tasting from over 30 wineries that were present.
The weather was perfect, the sun was out and both adults and children were catered for.
Children competed in grape stomping while adults tasted some new wines that are yet to hit the shelves.
Families filled the tables with laughter and cheer. All you could see was people enjoying themselves.
Foot traffic flowed and the venue accommodated all attendees easily while offering a scenic view of the developing town.
Celebrities such as comedian Mashabela and Micasa’s trumpeter, Mo-T, were in attendance enjoying the event.
The festival was Johannesburg’s best-kept secret in one of the remaining greenbelt towns in the city.
