Running from 17:00 to 20:30, the event brings together 60 of South Africa’s leading winemakers, each pouring a single flagship white wine or Cap Classique. Tickets cost R400 per person and include a crystal tasting glass, an event booklet, and access to a 15% discount on wine orders.
What to Expect at Caroline’s Annual Tasting Review
Event Overview
Hosted by Caroline Rillema of Caroline's Fine Wine Cellar, this annual review is a showcase of sixty producers, and each brings only one bottle: their best white wine or Cap Classique. Held on the 4th-floor Members' Lounge at DHL Stadium, the glass-fronted room opens onto a wide veranda overlooking the stadium bowl. Alas, there are no games on ;)
The Tastings
You receive a crystal glass and a detailed order sheet at the door. The layout is a walk-around format, allowing you to move between tables and talk directly to the people making the wine. If you like what you taste, you can order bottles on-site at a 15% discount compared to regular retail pricing.
Things to consider
The Good: You get direct access to top winemakers without having to drive out to individual estates. The quality across all 60 tables is consistently high because winemakers only showcase their flagship bottle. The venue is spacious, bright, and well-ventilated.
Things to Consider: Popular tables get busy quickly between 18:00 and 19:30. If you want time to speak to specific winemakers, arrive right when doors open at 17:00. Parking is not included in the ticket price and costs R70 per vehicle, so taking an Uber is often easier if you plan on tasting across multiple tables.
