The Greatest Wine Show to be Unearthed for First Time
Menlyn to join the line-up of TOPS at SPAR wine show’s national tour
Menlyn Park Shopping Centre is excited to be hosting the first TOPS at SPAR wine show in Pretoria on 25-27 August. The Greatest Show Unearthed will have a burlesque vintage theme and will feature hundreds of fine-wine exhibitors, edu-taining activities and fabulous food. The centre, which is undergoing a R2-billion redevelopment due for completion later this year, will become the largest in Africa, with over 500 shops and a floor space of 177 000 m2.
Since its inception in 2006, the Greatest Show Unearthed has become the fastest-growing consumer wine exhibition in South Africa. With the corks already pulled on 11 shows in Joburg and 14 others across the country this year, this TOPS at SPAR outing at Menlyn Park Shopping Centre will be the first in Pretoria.
“The wine show is a fantastic drawcard for our already loyal shoppers,” says Andrea de Wit, marketing manager of Menlyn Park Shopping Centre. The event, which runs over three days, gives consumers the opportunity to purchase wine at cellar-door prices, among many other things.
Part of the show will be two great wine theatres, the first a series of interactive tasting talks hosted by industry experts and wine personalities, and the second the new Supertaster Theatre, with the Cape Wine Academy presenting some great topics, including “A Symphony of Sauvignon Blancs” and “Shirazzmatazz”.
Visitors will be encouraged to vote for their favourite wine producer in the People’s Choice Awards, and a case of wine is up for grabs to a lucky entrant.
Tickets are available from www.itickets.co.za for R160 or at the door for R180. The price includes a map to the show and a tasting glass, all tastings, and access to both wine theatres. The Greatest Show Unearthed will be open from 17h00 to 2100 on Thursday and Friday, 25 and 26 August, and from 12h00 to 21h00 on Saturday 27 August.
