BE SURE TO ADD THE SA CHEESE FESTIVAL TO YOUR 2009 MUST-DO LIST

The SA Cheese Festival which has become synonymous with superb and daring culinary experiences is once again scheduled to provide foodies from all over with a respite from the rush of life in the city from 24 to 27 April 2009.  

Cheese lovers will be able to enjoy old favourites, while being wooed by adventurously new dairy and related products in the rustic setting provided by the shady quarters of Bien Donné farm between Paarl and Franschhoek. The festival is known to provide exceptional entertainment for the whole family with a variety of cooking demonstrations, tastings and leisurely hours spent shopping in a market atmosphere.

To ensure your entry to this favourite event tickets will have to be purchased beforehand at Computicket and Checkers stores.  Tickets for adults wishing to enter on Friday or Monday cost R85 per person, while visitors intending to enter on Saturday or Sunday will pay R110.  Children 12 years and younger enter for free and senior citizens pay R65 for entry on any day of the festival.

Opening times for the festival will be as follows: Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 10:00 to 18:00 and on Monday, 27 April from 10:00 to 17:00.
