Visit the winelands of South Africa, meet producers and join sommeliers from around the world.

In association with Sommelier Edit, Wines of South Africa announces a new initiative for 2023, the ‘Sommelier Symposium’ – a week-long visit to the Cape Winelands for sommeliers working in key export markets around the world.

The symposium is expected to be attended by 30 sommeliers and guests from across the globe.

The trip will be a mix of winery visits, regional overviews, masterclasses and tastings, which will allow guests to be fully immersed in the breathtakingly beautiful wine regions of South Africa, meet with top winemakers and enjoy the varied local cuisine in highly rated restaurants.

Wines of South Africa is offering three sommeliers from the UK market a chance to participate in the event.

Flights, accommodation and in-country travel are all included as part of the Sommelier Symposium. Details of how to enter are below and each application will be considered before the final three UK based sommeliers are selected. The aim is to select guests who have not previously visited South Africa’s wine regions.

This opportunity is open to anyone working full time as a sommelier in a UK restaurant. You must be available to travel to South Africa from 9^th to 18^th September 2023 and hold a valid passport.

Terms and conditions apply, see document.
