Popular wine show back in town

WELCOME to Winederland ,where the stars are red, white and wild! Kicking off the 2017 national tour, the TOPS at SPAR Wine Show is back in Johannesburg – and for the first time at Montecasino – to present its 12th spectacular “pourformance”, from May 25-27, of South Africa’s most loved wines and bubbly.

The wonderful world of wine awaits those who crave a bit of magic and plenty of adventure. After searching the far reaches of the Northern Cape’s arid regions and the lush Western Cape’s winelands, the show’s selection of the best of the best is sure to entertain your senses.

Among signature experiences is the exclusive Café Cru Sparkling Wine Bar, hosted by Miguel Chan, the head sommelier for the Tsogo Sun group.

Back by popular demand is the interactive eWine Theatre. There’s also a range of VIP packages over and above general tickets this year. Think exclusive and private tastings of premium wines and fine food pairing, VIP lounge access, a special gift, snacks and canapés.

Named the best consumer exhibition in its category at the 2017 AAXO’s Organiser and Exhibitor Awards, this year’s TOPS at SPAR Wine Show is geared so that wine lovers can taste and buy the country’s best bottles directly from producers at cellar-door prices.

Tickets are available online from Ticketpro. General admission is R120 online or R140 at the door, which includes a tasting glass, all tastings and access to the wine theatre. For more exclusive packages, see www. wineshow.co.za
