PRETORIA, 25th – 26th of April 2017: Treasure Chest Wine Show

Discover a new generation of wine-prenuers at the Treasure Chest Wine Show

The Treasure Chest Wine Show (www.wineshows.co.za) is bringing the crème of South Africa’s most exciting black owned wine brands to Pretoria.  Showcasing a collection of some of the finest wines that South Africa has to offer, not only does Treasure Chest aim to give the trade and public an opportunity to engage with and experience their world-class varietals, but on a higher level, seeks to spearhead transformation within the wine industry, addressing the importance of supporting local, black-owned wine brands.

This group of self-made wine-preneurs, collectively possess over 125 years’ experience, 12 of whom are powerful and visionary women on the rise. Pathfinders to transformation in this 360-year-old wine agricultural sector, where less than 2% of the industry is black-owned, the Treasure Chest collective is certainly a force to be reckoned with. Their perseverance, determination and strong desire to work collectively to penetrate the untransformed wine industry and be more active in the retail mainstream of the South African economy is a prime example, for entrepreneurs who are struggling to enter other industries in South Africa.

Aptly called “Treasure Chest”, the brand speaks to the inherent value of the unique array of flavours, aromas and blends, including over a hundred varietals that are some of South Africa’s best-kept secrets. Each wine carries a unique South African essence and story, personal to its creator, developer and owner. Treasure Chest wines includes award winning and internationally sought after varietals and vintages from more than 11 different wine regions in the Western Cape, each with its unique nose and taste characteristics. The brand collectively encapsulates a perfect bouquet of South African wines especially hand-crafted by the best wine makers in South Africa.

Offering the very best in terms of quality, price and service, the Treasure Chest Wine Show will give Pretoria’s wine lovers and trade the opportunity to taste and enjoy these world-class varietals, whilst interacting directly with the vintners themselves. “We are confident that your visit to the event will arouse your excitement and afford you this unique opportunity to engage with wine brand owners and experience the best wines the country has to offer.”

The Pretoria Treasure Chest Wine show is scheduled for the 25th and 26th of April 2017 at The Southern Sun Hotel, Pretoria.  The exhibition opens from 3pm to 8pm, entry is free of charge and is open to both the trade and public.
