Full Price: R120 Wine Plus Complete - Early Bird R475 (all 5) Full Price R500 Curated by Melvyn Minnaar, this series of tastings and talks showcases elements of excitement that define the current state of local wine. Starting with a bird’s eye view of the success story of the Hermanus region, wine grape varieties that drive contemporary cellar skills and connoisseurship come under the spotlight. The accent is on talent and thrill. South African brandy is today among the finest in the world; golden treasures to be acknowledged. As to local ‘port’-style wines, we’re right up there. Informative, not too technical, and framed by a fine selection to taste, each event of 45 minutes is a stand-alone, but the series will leave you more informed about the state of wine art. Presented by some of the best-known names in the South African wine world, they will share their passion. Port, somehow, calls for a somewhat different approach, and we are fortunate to bring with it to Fynarts a poetic experience.

Tickets R60 Scholars R30 Early Bird R50 Venue: Municipal Auditorium Best known as an award-winning creator of children’s literature, Niki is also musician, artist, illustrator, writer, teacher and publisher. A favourite theme is the solitary child who discovers self-worth with the help of an adult. Of his work as an illustrator Niki says: “It’s an act of revealing, done by throwing light on a story. The illustrator’s light comes through understanding, empathizing, and becoming part of the story. I try to observe with respect and care when I illustrate a story that is outside my own life’s experience. I look for meeting points between my life and the fiction . . . It’s an emotional involvement with fiction and my personal history.” More about - Niki Daly |
