Boat Bars - Free “ Sparkling Wine ” Policy
We offer free local sparkling wine included in the per person price of our Sunset Champagne Cruise and our Champagne Cruise . both these cruises are One and a half hours in duration .
South African Sparkling wines and Method cap classic wines used to be called Champagne ,however the names of the wines have now changed but the cruise name remains the same . We did consider renaming the Cruise the Sparkling Wine Cruise but somehow it did not seem to convey the same message .
The literature says a glass per person , however we budget on a bottle per couple or half a Bottle per person .This is a complimentary drink to get you into the mood .
When this stock has been used it is time for the cash bar .
The local sparkling that we currently use is the Goedverwacht Suiderkruis Vonkel which is 50% Sauvignon blanc 50 % Colambar blend . This medium bodied sparkling wine has Guava and goosberry flavours , which is typical of the varieties used for this spakling wine .The delicate fruit flavours are also very prominent on the palate.John Platter Rating :3 stars.
