Inspired by La Motte owner and well-known mezzo-soprano Hanneli Rupert’s love for classical music, the programme of monthly concerts includes an exceptional variety of acclaimed international and applauded local artists, seasonal themes and a warm invitation to enjoy La Motte’s winelands hospitality.
Guests are welcome to enjoy a glass of wine and some light refreshments in the estate gardens between 17h00 and 18h00. The concerts are presented from La Motte’s renovated Parshuis or Historic Red Wine Cellar and starts promptly at 18h00. Please note that seating is not reserved.
Make the most of your visit to the Franschhoek Valley and stay for dinner at the estate’s L’Ami Family Brasserie, a short stroll away from the concert venue. A special concert and dinner package is available at R945 per person, and entails a concert ticket as well as a three-course menu with a glass of wine from the La Motte Classic Collection. Bookings can be made via Dineplan.
