11am - Payten and Jones for a wine tasting. If gin isn't your thing - Payten & Jones for a Wine & Spanish Vermouth tasting consisting of Sangioveses and Tempranillos.

12.15pm - Quarters Restaurant @ Hubert Estate, where we all sit on one or two tables together, where we all order and pay for our own lunch and drinks.

- If you are quick with lunch, we will happily run you to Chandon for a photo opportunity of the beautiful view. It depends on their busyness as to whether they can offer you a seat, where you can buy yourself a quick sparkling wine.
