The 2008 Best Value Wine Show which is hosted by Grand West Casino this year, takes place in the Market Hall, Entertainment Centre on Tuesday, 2 December from 17h00 - 21h00.
The show once again offers Capetonians the opportunity to taste and purchase around seventy value-for-money wines from twenty South African wineries under one roof. All wines included in the 2009 Best Value Booklet have been tasted and rated by Wine's independent panel and costs less than R60 per bottle. Prices start at R18.

Participating wineries are:
  • Avontuur Estate
  • Balance
  • Bergsig
  • Bon Courage
  • Bottelary
  • Buitenverwachting
  • the company of wine peopleTM (Welmoed, Arniston Bay, Thandi, Kumkani)
  • Du Toitskloof
  • Eikendal
  • Goedverwacht
  • Hazendal
  • Klein Constantia
  • Perdeberg
  • Raka
  • Riebeek Cellar
  • Rietvallei
  • Stellenrust
  • Van Loveren
  • Villiersdorp
  • Windmeul
"Many of the wines on offer at the show are available on supermarket shelves, but one rarely has the opportunity to taste them at point of purchase. This show offers the wines for tasting by the winemakers or representatives from the wineries themselves and thanks to Grand West's efficient staff, the wines can be ordered, paid for at cellar door prices and taken home directly from the show," says Cobie van Oort, one of the organisors.

An exciting culinary addition to this year's show is the creation of an informal bistro restaurant inside the venue where visitors can enjoy a light meal at a reasonable price whilst waiting for their order to be made up. Alternatively the upmarket Quarterdeck restaurant in the main casino building, a short walk away offers Best Value Wine Show ticket holders a special on their lavish buffet of only R99 per person, for that night only! (Usual price R130 pp)

The cost per ticket is R60 per person, which includes the entrance fee, a tasting glass, a copy of the Best Value Wine Guide 2009 and an order form with all participating wines and prices.

Tickets are limited and bookings are essential. Contact Björn van Oort of CVO Marketing at (021) 981-0216 or send an email to bjorn@cvomarketing.co.za to book. Tickets are also for sale at the Quarterdeck Restaurant in the Casino complex.
