Wine Concepts Seductive Sauvignons Festival
While we battle with the elements it is good to remember that July is typically the peak of our rainy season and it presages the season of growth, Spring, which will begin next month. Wine Concepts has timed a special event to herald the onset of Spring with Sauvignon blanc, the most popular wine varietal in South Africa.
40 farms have been invited, with some bringing several wines from both varietals, Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Sauvignon, as well as blends. So over 100 wines should be available for tasting on the evening.
We produce many superb, world-beating Sauvignons blanc, especially in the cooler wine producing areas, and our Cabernets are also able to compete with the world's best. you will have a chance to taste them at Wine Concepts Seductive Sauvignons Festival at Moyo on the edge of Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens on August 15th
All the showcased wines will be available to order at discounted prices from Wine Concepts on the evening, making it a great opportunity for you to stock up on your favourite wines. Don't miss out on this chance to expand your wine palate and discover some new and exciting wines. Follow the link to buy your tickets and get ready to be seduced with Wine Concepts!
Only 200 tickets are available, and these can conveniently be purchased via www.webtickets.co.za or at any of Wine Concepts branches. Alternatively, tickets will be available at the door on the afternoon. All tickets subject to availability.
The last Seductive Sauvignons in our record was at The Vineyard in 2017
