A delicious evening of cheese and wine tasting last Friday saw more than R12 000 raised for The North Coast Courier Orphan Fund’s bursaries and scholarship funding campaign.

Tasting some of the red and white wines on offer were Richard and Jane Burnand.

The wine tasting was held in conjunction with The Social Oaks, the new wine cellar at Salt Rock’s The Litchi Orchard.

More than 50 guests enjoyed a variety of reds, whites and rosés from 4 regions across South Africa.

Orphan Fund coordinator, Mpume Vilakazi extended special thanks to The Social Oaks’ Chris and Cara McDaniel for opening their doors to the Orphan Fund, and Bidvest McCarthy Toyota Ballito for generously donating some R5 000 toward the bursaries and scholarship funding campaign.

Showcasing some of the wines up for tasting from Gabriëlskloof Wine Farm was Mira Castleman.
