Wines of South Africa is organizing an East Africa Grand Tasting Tour 2015, in Nairobi, Kenya on 13th November 2015 and Kampala, Uganda on 14th November 2015.
The objectives of these tastings are two fold - to promote awareness of the South African category and increase distribution and sales of our wines in these markets. We will therefore invite trade, media, consumers and portfolio managers working in the food and beverage/hospitality industry to the events.
We would like to present a full range of South African wines currently available to consumers in Kenya and Uganda as well as introduce new wine brands to the markets. All producers are invited to apply and secure tables. Application to secure tables will be made by the producer here in South Africa and will be handled by the WOSA Stellenbosch office.
There are only 25 tables available per event. Note that applications will be handled on first come first serve basis and be advised that in order to secure space we need your signed contract.
