Providing the opportunity to sample SA’s best — and best-known — wines, WineX is one of the highlights of Gauteng’s annual events calendar.
Now in its 25th year, the Southern Hemisphere’s biggest wine festival will be making a welcome return to the Sandton Convention Centre from October 29 to 31.
With increased support from returning sponsor Standard Bank, the festival has expanded and will feature an extraordinary selection of over 700 wines, with more tasting sessions and music to sip wine by. It’s anticipated to attract a vibrant, sophisticated crowd of about 9,000 guests over three days.
“WineX is a measure of the vibrancy, the spirit of innovation and the dedication to quality which have become the hallmarks of the country’s wine industry. It appeals to every possible wine consumer: from those still learning their way around wine to dedicated aficionados tracking their favourite cellars or seeking out new treasures,” says Bridgette Kruger, Standard Bank’s head of Private Banking in SA.
WineX founder Michael Fridjhon notes that Gauteng now consumes 41% of all South African wine, making it the country’s biggest single wine market, ahead even of our major export countries like the UK and Germany.
“WineX is therefore the most important single point of engagement for our leading producers to meet with their largest consumer base,” Fridjhon says. The breadth of choice available at WineX makes it possible for professionals with serious time constraints to discover the South African wines that have earned global acclaim. “This wine show brings all our award-winning wines to them.”
