Wine lovers in Johannesburg were delighted by the viticultural information provided by Cape Town Tourism at the TOPS Soweto Wine Festival 2012, held at the University of Johannesburg's Soweto campus from September 6 to 8, 2012.

While the exciting competition to win one of 12 bottles of Durbanville Hills wine kept the crowds flocking to the Cape Town Tourism stand, manned by our ever-efficient events team of Fatima Borez and Lisa da Costa, visitors were informed of some of the Mother City’s forthcoming  gourmet and beverage events, including the Bierfest  and Vindaba in September, the FNB Whisky Live Festival in October and the Cape Town Festival of Beer in November, Taste of Cape Town in April 2013, the Table of Peace and Unity and the township wine event of the year, the TOPS Gugulethu Wine Festival, in May 2013.

The eighth TOPS Soweto Wine Festival was sponsored by DStv, City Press, among others. Cape Town’s winemakers were there too, proudly displaying their decadent drinks. These included: Groot Constantia, Nederburg and Vergelegen Wines.
