For the 14th year, Delicata will be holding its Classic Wine Festival at the scenic garden Ġnien il-Kunsill in Nadur on August 19, 20 and 21 from 7pm until midnight in a celebration of wines, food and live entertainment.
There will be over 20 Delicata D.O.K. and I.G.T. quality wines from Malta and Gozo, including Gozo’s boutique range of wines, Victoria Heights, Delicata’s flagship wines Gran Cavalier and Grand Vin de Hauteville, and other labels such as Medina, Maltese Falcon, Pjazza Regina, Frizzante, Classic Collection and Dolcino. All these will be available to taste as often as one likes. Strictly no wine will be served to anyone under 17 and patrons are reminded to enjoy responsibly.
Entrance is free. To sample the wines visitors can purchase a wristband and a souvenir glass for €14. Showing the wristband at a wine stand will prompt wine stewards to pour the wine on display in the bespoke festival glass.
Cooking stalls will serve barbecue food, suckling pig, traditional Gozitan ftajjar (Gozitan flat loaf), fresh baguettes, French crêpes and Chinese dishes. Soft drinks and water will also be on sale.
The festival will be hosting a spectacle of live entertainment by singers and bands every night. On Friday’s opening night, entertainment will be provided by Ronald Briffa, MAE, Elaine Haber, Gozo Boy, Pierre Zammit and Straight Ahead, while on Saturday night, Pierre Cordina, Novel Band, Rebecca Bonello, Isaiah Muscat, Kelly Cassar and Upper Lip will be entertaining the crowds. The festival will round up on Sunday night with Francesca Zarb, Sarah Bonnici, D Capital, Joseph Refalo, Jolene Samhan, and Cash & Band.
A shuttle service will be available on return basis from Mġarr ferry terminal to the festival. The price for an adult’s return trip is €2.
