The South African Wine Tasting Championship is set to open its doors on the 1st June 2024 and welcomes wine enthusiasts, whether amateur or professional.

Join us at the TAJ Hotel in Cape Town on June 1, 2024, to explore up to 50 exceptional wines.

Upon arrival, you will receive an exclusive wine glass from Chef & Sommeliers, the leading French professional wine glass manufacturer. Then, you can peruse some of the finest South African wineries starting at 10:00 am.

Aside from the excitement of meeting winemakers and learning about their wines, you are invited to participate in the South African Wine Tasting Championship starting at 12:00 pm. In a separate room known as the Tasting Arena, you will face 10 decanters and attempt to identify these anonymous wines, all of which come from the list of 50 you just tasted.

You may enter the Tasting Arena at your convenience, but once inside, you won't have access to the original 50 wines. Therefore, you will need to rely on your memory and talent.

To participate, simply fill out a competition form, providing the grape variety, producer, and vintage of each wine you taste, and earn points for each correct answer.

The highest scorers will advance to the national finale round in July. The top national champions will qualify to join Team South Africa 2024 for the World Championship in Bordeaux, France, in October 2024.

Flying the national flag can be the adventure of a lifetime, but it's also great fun to compete among friends and see who has the most accurate palate.

Put your taste to the test! Secure your ticket now to join the adventure at the TAJ Hotel on Saturday, June 1, 2024.
