Synergy Live 2011

About

Synergy Live is a mixture of technological wonder and natural beauty, and once again sets its stage against the backdrop of the Simonsberg mountains at the Boschendal Wine Estate in the Franschhoek valley. One of South Africa’s oldest wine farms, Boschendal isn’t just the perfect festival venue – it’s a national treasure. And for three days in November, it’s all yours. This year, Boschendal Wine Estate will be offering its expertise and wares with a series of wine tastings, as part of the Synergy Live Marketplace.
