Team South Africa is selected from the best wine tasters from around the country, who participate and compete at the South African Wine Tasting Competition (SAWTC). The provincial competitions are held in Johannesburg and Cape Town, and the best of these participate in the finals, to arrive at the top 5 tasters. The 4 best national tasters are the core of Team SA.
After attracting great media coverage over the last 3 years, the SAWTC has selected the best tasters to make the 2016 Team South Africa, facing teams of 24 other countries at the World Blind Tasting Challenge in Provence (France) on the 8th of October 2016. This event is organised by La Revue du Vin de France and Marie Claire Group.
The 2016 Team South Africa needs your support to make sure they can train with international wines and fly to France under the best conditions. For this reason we ask your support to raise funds to make this dream happen again, like in 2013, 2014 and 2015. The value of the rand makes it extremely difficult for the team in 2016.
We are offering different options starting from R1000, so no excuse not to help your own industry!

You will get one picture of the Team members with your product in their hand for your social media. Any donation accepted from R1000, but you can consider more.
