The Delicata Classic Wine festival is back or its 14th year, at the Upper Barrakka Gardens in Valletta on 6/ 7 / 8/ 9th August 2015, from 7.00pm until midnight – and then 3 weeks later on  28/29/30th August it happens all over again in Nadur, Gozo.
The way it works is simple – Entrance is free. To try the wines simply purchase a wristband for the night and a souvenir glass for €12.50 (which is then yours to keep) upon entrance to the gardens. The last glasses and wristbands are sold at 11.00pm, the last wine is poured at 11.30pm and the festival closes at midnight. No glasses or bottles will be sold or alcohol poured to anyone under the age of 17.
At the Valletta Wine Festival live cooking stalls will be serving suckling pig, pasta, pizza, paella, koftas, kebabs, Indian dishes, sushi and Thai noodles dishes, a selection of cheese and mixed platters and desserts.
On Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights only, Island Caterers will serve a Mediterranean Grill buffet, accompanied by Delicata wines, in the fully seated restaurant area down in the Saluting Battery, with its breath-taking views over the harbour, for €36 per person. Reservations are highly recommended and can be made by calling on 21433268 or sending an e-mail to events@islandcaterers.com.mt.
Live entertainment will be performed every night in Valletta starting with an opening night concert by Red Electrick and Planet Seed (Thurs), Billy Lee and the Spiteri Lucas Band (Fri), Relikc and The Crowns (Sat) and Cash & Band and George Curmi (Puse) and his band (Sun). The festival will be compered by Mireille Bonello and street magic will be performed by Ivan Mallia on all 4 nights.
In Nadur Gozo, there will also be live entertainment every night and an assortment of food stalls selling both Gozitan and International dishes. There will also be a regular shuttle service operating each night between the Mġarr ferry terminal and the festival in Nadur for a nominal fee of €2 return per person.
