CAPE wine enthusiasts must flag 8 and 9 September (17:00 to 21:00) for the annual RMB WineX at the CTICC.
Now in its 9th year, the Mother City can look forward to the wine show – distinguished by its cosmopolitan and wine-in-the-city feel – where show visitors meet and mingle with the country’s top wine-makers.
More than an evening of sipping and spitting great wines, visitors have the opportunity to stock their cellars, or enjoy a guided tour.
The line-up of exhibitors can be viewed on www.winex.co.za and includes last year’s Best-Wines-on-Show winners Backsberg, Diemersfontein, Glen Carlou and Vrede en Lust.
Book tickets at www.Computicket.co.za or 0861 915 8000 (R100 until 4 September, thereafter and at the door R120 Thursday night and R140 Friday night), including tasting glass and unlimited tastings. Special discount for group of ten or more for Thursday night can be booked on 011 482 5936.
* To win two tickets valid for either night, send an email with your name and cell number to edit@paarlpost.co.za listing any winery taking part in the show. Winners can collect their tickets at the door (WineX Help Desk).
