In South Africa’s rapidly evolving wine market, shows such as RMB WineX have become the single most important bridge builder between the producer and the consumer. Meet the winemakers, taste their current releases, and learn about the latest trends in winemaking. In addition, handcrafted cheese, olives and olive products, imported and local wine accessories and glassware will be available for purchase. RMB WineX is a unique wine show in that the public participates in the Best-Wine-on-Show poll, voting for their favourite reds and whites. The entry fee for the early birds is R75 (available from 1 August to 6 September) A special two day pass for Wednesday and Thursday nights is R140 (available from 1 August to 6 September) and thereafter, and at the door, R90 (Wednesday and Thursday) and R95 (Friday) at Computicket.
