An ancient winemaking tradition is making a remarkable comeback, and South Africa is celebrating this revival with the country’s first-ever Amphora Wine Festival on Saturday, 29 August. The growth in the number and diversity of South African amphora wines has now reached a point where the country can host a festival dedicated entirely to this fascinating tradition. Festival Highlights & Special GuestsThe Amphora Wine Festival South Africa will feature more than 30 wineries from across the Western Cape, showcasing their unique amphora wines and offering visitors the rare opportunity to taste an exceptional collection of these limited-production wines together in one place.
