Lowvelders sipped away on SA’s best wines at Mbombela Golf Club on Saturday.

This was the biggest Unwined event yet with over 600 people attending and 27 South African wineries from the Cape represented.

Attendees were welcomed with a complimentary wine glass and a bottle of water from one of the main sponsors, Valpré.

Small tables and chairs invited the guests to sit and enjoy the beautiful view over the mountains and fill their glasses with new and unknown flavours.

Big names like Jakkalsvlei, Beyerskloof, Nederburg and Durbanville Hills were among the wineries the guests tasted from.

The organisers, Toiné and Joe Schoeman, and GT and Lizelle Lundie, are passionate about wine and host this event twice a year in hopes of establishing a wine culture collective in the Lowveld.

“Even if you don’t drink wine, you can learn to appreciate it, since your palate changes as you get older,” Tioné shared.

This event is a great opportunity for wineries to showcase their latest wines and get discovered by new potential customers.
