The Capitec Franschhoek Cap Classique & Champagne Festival — one of South Africa’s most anticipated celebrations of wine and lifestyle — returns to the historic Huguenot Monument on Saturday 29 and Sunday 30 November 2025, promising a weekend of sparkling sophistication.
Presented in proud partnership with headline sponsor Capitec for the second consecutive year, the 2025 edition promises a weekend of elegant indulgence, exceptional sparkling wines and gourmet flair — all set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Franschhoek Wine Valley. This year’s theme, “Champagne White With A Pop Of Blue And A Note Of Pinot Noir Red,” invites guests to dress the part, elevating the garden party atmosphere that has become synonymous with this signature event. A fixture on the social calendar, the festival draws a discerning crowd eager to toast the season in one of South Africa’s most celebrated wine destinations.
Attendees can expect a tasting journey featuring the country’s leading Cap Classique producers complemented by a select offering of imported Champagnes. These fine wines will be available for sampling and purchase by the glass or bottle, while a refined range of gourmet food vendors will offer locally inspired cuisine, perfectly paired for bubbly enjoyment.
Asha Patel, Head of Brand and Communications says, “We are thrilled to once again be part of the Franschhoek Cap Classique & Champagne Festival – a celebration of elegance, success and shared moments. This partnership reflects our passion for empowering growth, supporting local businesses, and making a meaningful difference. The festival is a true highlight on the social calendar and offers the perfect stage to connect with our clients while celebrating the vibrant lifestyle that defines South Africa.”
