After attending a Fools Garden concert some months ago in Germany, Mont Destin co-owner Ernest Bürgin was so enthralled by their music that he just had to have them come to South Africa.
Now this Stellenbosch based winery is proud to announce an exclusive performance of this acclaimed German band. Music lovers and wine connoisseurs can look forward to alluringly upbeat tunes combined with outstanding Mont Destin wines and gourmet treats by greatly admired Andrea Foulkes of Dish Food & Social.
These captivating events will take place on Saturday 14 February from 16h30 until 20h00 and on Sunday 15 February from 11h30 until 15h00. There is no better way to play Cupid and indulge your loved one in spectacularly romantic Valentine’s Day style.
Guests are invited to stroll through the verdant Mont Destin vineyards, taste their award winning wines and relax in the magnificent gardens, while savouring the sounds of an intimate unplugged musical serenade by the duo who founded this globally popular German band.
Fools Garden was formed in Germany by two enthusiastic young musical maestros and band leaders, Peter Freudenthaler and Volker Hinkel, in 1991. Four years later, the release of Lemon Tree catapulted the pair to chart-topping success world-wide. The song has been translated into over 40 languages and achieved a sales quota of over six million units. A recent concert in St Petersburg was attended by over 100 000 people. Performing at Mont Destin wine estate, Fools Garden will make their very first appearance in the Western Cape, South Africa, but hopefully not their last!
