About the Jo’burg Wine Show

In 2010 there were 200 exhibitors and 8,400 visitors. A phenomenal R2,4 million was spent by visitors at the show, with 83% of visitors purchasing wine. More than half the visitors who attended the Jo’burg Wine Show rated it better than other wine shows. What better reason to be here?

This year, the exhibitors list reads like the A-Z of the South African wine industry with most of our prime wine producing regions being represented. You’ll be able to taste, try and buy some of the best wines in the country and explore well-known and new labels. Producers vary from big cellars, co-operative producers to small boutique wineries and independent winemakers.

The Wine Theatre at the Jo’burg Wine Show

Get up close and personal with top winemakers during free tutored tasting sessions in the Wine Theatre. Wine experts reveal the secrets of different varietals, cultivars and South African wines are pitched against their international counterparts. The theatre sessions are intimate and interactive and present great opportunities to improve your wine knowledge.

Friends for Dinner Theatre

Food and wine remains an inseparable combination and show visitors are in for a treat at the Friends for Dinner Theatre. Executive chef Leon Hatton-Jones from the Park Inn Sandton Hotel will showcase the easy, contemporary cuisine of his restaurant paired with various wines. Theatre guests will most likely be able to taste his signature chicken and prawn curry with ginger preserve. Hatton-Jones has cooked for former presidents Mandela and Zuma and party girl Paris Hilton counts amongst his celebrity diners.
