If you’re in the marquee pop round to the Môreson stall and say hi, we’d really love to see you.

If you can’t wait for tomorrow feel free to pop into the farm this afternoon. Pick up a case of wine – the Môreson Petit Verdot is drinking excellently – some of Neil’s excellent charcuterie and, on your way out, you can take part in our barrel-rolling trials and team selection.

Yes Bastille, in Franschhoek, is a truly magical affair!
