This year’s theme, “Artists, makers and craftsmen”, has been inspired by Sanlam Private Wealth’s appreciation of fellow masters of their craft, whether it involves creating delectable flavours, mesmerising sounds, alluring wines or beautiful art.
Get ready to sip and savour top quality wines from South Africa’s most famous wine route. More than 40 Stellenbosch winemakers and estate owners will showcase 100 show-stopping wines from eight winemaking categories, all carefully chosen through a strenuous selection process.
While rubbing shoulders with these iconic winemakers, guests will have the opportunity to watch top chefs from the culinary capital of South Africa prepare their signature dishes and then enjoy these with matching wines.
