The Montrose Foundation does not require much introduction, given its affiliation to Montrose Place, the Cape Town rehabilitation facility at which Tiger Woods was rumoured to be receiving treatment. Whether Tiger Woods will be there or not, the ‘Midsummer Melodies’ in the Gardens on De Grendel is not to be missed! The evening promises a beautiful concert with picnic baskets, blankets and romance, filled with musical excellence!

So whilst Montrose Place deals with the treatment of varying addictions, Montrose Foundation’s aim, through their Youth at Risk program, is “to create awareness of addiction globally and in South Africa and to focus on youth addiction prevention and the optimisation of outpatient treatment.” It is the same program which was supported by the L’Ormarins Queens Plate, and the same program which has, since it’s recent inception, already taken care of over 60 disadvantaged youth.

Back to the party – do you even know where De Grendel is?! You’re in for QUITE a treat!

It’s no secret that De Grendel wine farm is 2oceansvibe’s preferred wine producer, and with unmatched views of Table Mountain and Cape Town from the majestic hills of Tygerberg, you couldn’t ask for a more perfect setting.

The gates open at 17h00, with the concert kicking off at 18h00. You can expect all the trimmings, including champagne bar, wine bar, various food and cheese stands and nothing but great music, including the Cape Town Opera, the Hout Bay Music Project and Cape Town’s very own, the legendary Rupert Mellor!

Due to 2oceansvibe’s constant referencing of South Africa’s very own Billy Joel, I am often besieged by people asking where and when Rupert Mellor is playing. Well, I’m telling you right now where he is playing. It’s on February 14th and it’s at the Montrose Foundation’s Midsummer Melodies concert at De Grendel.

It’ll be good times with good people and it’s a nice change from the norm. What’s more, is you can walk away with your karma in good nick good because this is all going to a good cause.

It’s an experience – rather than a dull Valentine’s Day doing the same thing at the same place with the same crap service.

Live a little and check out the Montrose Foundation website (incl. picnic menu!) and secure your ticket NOW – and trust me, with an event like this, you better MOVE!

See you there!
