Avondale’s spectacular La Luna dinner – “Once in a Blue Moon”

June 18, 2012

During August 2012, we will see the extraordinary rising of two full moons.  The second of these, appearing on Friday 31 August 2012, is known as a ‘Blue Moon’, signifying the rarity of this lunar phenomenon.  The moon is one of the cardinal influences guiding Avondale’s nature-friendly BioLOGIC® approach to wine farming.  So it is not surprising that we are inspired to celebrate this once-in-a-blue-moon occasion by hosting an exclusive, usually by-invitation-only La Luna Dinner at the Avondale Estate near Paarl, alongside renowned chef Reuben Riffel.   In honour of this Blue Moon occasion, we are, for the first time, making a limited number of seats at a La Luna Dinner available to purchase on a first-come-first-served basis.

On Friday 31 August 2012, Avondale Proprietor Johnathan Grieve will be collaborating with Chef Reuben at the estate’s elegant Tasting Gallery to produce a sumptuous six-course feast, each dish divinely paired with one of Avondale’s exquisite handcrafted wines. Guests will be taken on a journey of discovery to learn how Avondale uses the BioLOGIC® approach to create our range of extraordinary wines.

Chauffeured door-to-door transport is available so that all guests can relax and enjoy an unforgettable experience. A limited number of seats are available so book early to avoid disappointment. For any bookings or queries, please contact Avondale on 021 863 1976 or email wine@avondalewine.co.za

R750 per guest / R1500 per couple.
