AHEAD OF THE GAME AT THE FNB MPUMALANGA WINE SHOW

The ninth FNB Mpumalanga Wine Show returns to Emnotweni on 8 and 9 March and is the first of the 2018 regional wine show programme directed by Michael Fridjhon and team. Held a month earlier than in previous years, Lowveld wine lovers will be ahead of the game with an early exposé to what’s ‘hot and happening’ in the world of wine just after the summer harvest. Start the night with scintillating sparklings from Graham Beck, Simonsig and Valdo Prosecco. With around 200 wines for tasting from rock star producers such as Springfield, Raka, Jordan, Glen Carlou, Steenberg, Morgenster, Anthonij Rupert and Ken Forrester Wines, the FNB Mpumalanga Wine Show is the place to connect with wine makers and discover the wonderful world of wine.

The Shop@Show facility, administered by local retailer Tops The Grove, is an excellent means of stocking up on wines at show prices with the added convenience of delivery to your door.

Tickets to the show are available via Computicket.com and at the door, subject to availability. Emnotweni Rewards cardholders receive up to 20% discount.
