NOTHING BUT THE BEST
The Wade Bales Wine & Malt Whisky Affair once again takes place in May. This annual experience is hosted at the opulent and edgy African Pride 15 on Orange Hotel. Currently in its 8th year, the affair delivers the ultimate in indulgence and showcase of sought after, limited release wines and rare malt whiskies from around the world.
“We handpicked a selection of interesting and distinctive wines and whiskies, which are all available for tasting within a stylish and sophisticated setting, to ensure discerning guests have an exceptional experience. What makes this event unique from most others, is not only premium products but the calibre of the passionate and knowledgeable people who present them.” says Wade Bales, well-known wine and spirits matchmaker.
Leading off from the main showcase, the newly refurbished Murano Bar will become a bubbly bar activated by South Africa’s first producer of MCC, Simonsig Wine Estate. Known for their cultivated excellence and art in a glass, pop your senses with delightful tastings of their award winning Methode Cap Classique range.
