CapeWine 2025: South Africa’s Grand Invitation to the World

From 10–12 September 2025, all eyes will turn to Cape Town as the Cape Town International Convention Centre (CTICC) welcomes the global wine trade to CapeWine 2025 - a three-day celebration of the people, passion, and places behind South Africa’s world-class wines.

Proudly hosted by Wines of South Africa (WoSA), this flagship triennial trade show isn’t just an industry event — it’s a national statement.

It’s about showcasing who we are, where we come from, and what we believe in. This year’s theme, “Our Warmest Welcome,” extends far beyond hospitality; it’s a call to connect, collaborate, and create lasting partnerships grounded in authenticity and excellence.

Why CapeWine 2025 Matters for Tourism

Wine tourism is one of South Africa’s most dynamic travel sectors, seamlessly weaving together storytelling, culture, sustainability, and community. CapeWine 2025 is not just a platform for trade deals — it’s a catalyst for tourism growth, investment, and long-term destination awareness.

For international media, trade professionals, wine importers, tour operators, and hospitality insiders, CapeWine 2025 is the ideal time to experience the full spectrum of South African excellence:

• Award-winning wines born from some of the world’s oldest soils

• Diverse wine routes rich in culture, culinary flair, and scenic beauty

• People-first sustainability that puts communities and the planet at the heart of winemaking

• Ubuntu-driven experiences that connect travellers to our warm, welcoming spirit

  
  

At GTSA, we see CapeWine as a golden opportunity to elevate South Africa’s standing as a premium wine tourism destination. The event brings the global wine world to our doorstep — and with it, the chance to extend those visits to our wine estates, golf courses, luxury lodges, heritage towns, and rural routes.
