Tops Soweto Wine Festival Shaping Future
The TOPS Soweto Wine Festival, in association with Food Network, is officially the place to be on the first weekend of September every year and so say 8413 people who visited the festival and tasted over 900 wines this year.
Says Marilyn Cooper, co-founder of the festival, a Cape Wine Master and CEO of the Cape Wine Academy
“Even though we had a huge hail storm and heavy rains on Thursday afternoon we still had 1550 people come to the festival that evening but it would have been many more. On Friday and Saturday we were full to capacity on both nights with 3008 people on Friday and Saturday being slightly busier with 3855 people. To be honest, this festival is no longer about the numbers, it is about wine and people finding the wine they love. What you see at this festival are South Africa’s wine consumers of tomorrow and the future.”
