Thirdly, we will be launching a business arena at the 2010 festival to showcase Careers in Wine, Wine Education and the economy of wine.

And finally , some of South Africa's finest chefs and wine tutors will be hosting free lecture sessions on how to match traditional food with your favourite wines, Soweto-style! We look forward to another fantastic festival.
