Veritas wine tasting for wine lovers on track again
· 2 min read
The new year starts off with great news for wine lovers. The Veritas wine tastings for the public to experience the Double Gold and Gold winners first-hand are soon to be held in Cape Town, Paarl and Stellenbosch.
With one of the most successful years of the Veritas wine competition completed in 2021, wine lovers will be able now to taste the 235 double-gold and gold wines and brandies to their hearts’ delight after the Covid pandemic had interrupted these tastings for some time.
The results of the 2021 competition were only announced in November last year, hence the tastings only being presented now.
It will also be the first time that wine tasters will be able to use the VinoVeritas App at a wine tasting by ordering their wine on the go during tasting. The App was already launched in 2020.
In accordance with the Covid regulations, the number of tickets for each tasting event is limited and all the Covid protocols will be adhered to.
Tasting details:
16 February – L’ Atrium, Grande Roche Hotel, Paarl
24 February – Deloitte Head Office Building, Waterfront, Cape Town
8 March – Spier Historical Wine Cellar, Stellenbosch
The tastings times are: 17:00 - 20:00
Price of tickets: R220 (pp) including an elegant wine glass. Light snacks will be on sale.
Book on Quicket website.

The Portrait of a South African Winemaker
In James Joyce's A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, Stephen Dedalus resolves to express himself "as freely as I can and as wholly as I can". Joyce's hero refuses to be just one thing. That same many-sided energy is increasingly being asked of the modern South African winemaker, who has to adopt different faces for different places.
Who will drink South African wine tomorrow?
Tomorrow’s wine drinker is already here, standing at the braai with a can in one hand and a phone in the other. South African wine still has time to join the occasion, although it may need to loosen its collar first.
Ice in the Chenin and other South African wine crimes
There is ice in the Chenin Blanc, Cap Classique in an ordinary wine glass and a bowl of curry waiting beside a bottle of something pink. By old wine standards, the afternoon is a small crime scene.
