ANNUAL APRIL WINE SHOW FEVER
Lowveld wine lovers can look forward to another bumper wine show when the FNB Mpumalanga Wine Show returns to Ingwenyama in White River on 26 and 27 April 2013. As more than 1 200 visitors in 2012 experienced, the wine show is designed to delight wine enthusiasts with the latest vintages, matured favourites and new wine accessories and gadgets on the market. A fun night out for both the guru and novice, the fourth FNB Mpumalanga Wine Show is proudly brought to you by FNB Private Clients and supported by Mpumalanga media partner, JacarandaFM.
As in previous years, the exhibitor line-up will turn out an A-list of Cape producers. Around 65 wineries will include cellars such as Morgenster, Quoin Rock, Krone, Graham Beck and Vrede en Lust. All wines – approximately 350 in total - will be available for sampling and purchase via Shop@Show, the show’s convenient retail facility run by Nelspruit’s Tops The Grove where visitors can order wine for home delivery. Showgoers wishing to plan their tasting experience should visit www.mpumalangawineshow.co.za for a full list of exhibitors and wines.
With a vast range of game reserves and lodges in the region, Gautengers should also consider the FNB Mpumalanga Wine Show as a reason to visit the sunshine province for the Freedom Day weekend. Accommodation options can be found via www.mpumalangawineshow.co.za.
