A very cool message from Oscar Foulkes, Marketing Director of Cloof Wine Estate:

“Cloof Wine Estate, where Rocking the Daisies ‘plays hard and treads lightly’ has its own green credentials.

In recognition of their various environmental efforts they’ve just been named the winner of the Sustainable Tourism Practices category in the Best Of Wine Tourism Awards. We understand that hosting South Africa’s biggest and best green music festival (that’s Rocking the Daisies!) was a big contributing factor in them getting the award.

Of course, none of this would be possible without all the people that contribute to the event. A huge thank you and well done to you all!

Cloof has a few great wine specials running at the moment. They’ve set up a special website to sell a mixed six-bottle case of their famous red blends (www.redblends.co.za) for only R259 (a discount of over R200!). Four of the six wines in the pack were rated Four Stars in the latest Platter Wine Guide.  And you can get the delicious “summer sippers” Daisy Darling and Rosy Darling for under R30 on their main ecommerce website www.cloofwines.co.za.”

The guys at Cloof go out of their way to make hosting the festival as easy as possible for us. One way we can repay that hospitality is to drink their delicious wine. So, even if you’re not ready to grab one of these special offers, please look out for them at your favourite retailer or restaurant. – Brian Little, Festival Director.
