Cult Status
The Soweto Wine Festival has built up cult
status over the past 6 years. Having fun
and learning about wine in a safe and vibrant
atmosphere is truly the Mzansi way.
And 2010 is bigger
and better! The festival is now
3 evenings plus we are adding
a marquee so there is comfortable
space for everyone to taste the vines of
Mzansi and have the time of your lives.
The
Trend-Setters
This popular festival attracted over 5520
visitors in 2009, and we expect in excess
of 6500 visitors in 2010.
But it is not the quantity on people at
the festival that is important, but the
quality of Mzansi’s
most hip and happening trend-setters
that this festival attracts. VIP’s
Festival visitors include a large VIP set
of high-ranking Government Officials; CEO’s
of multi-national companies; celebrities
and local and national trendsetters - the
‘Who’s Who’ of South Africa’s
social elite.
