On Thursday, 8 October 2026 at 18h00, The Story of Sauvignon Blanc forms part of the lifestyle programme of the Toyota Stellenbosch Woordfees.

How many stories can one cultivar tell? Come and taste for yourself! One hour. Eleven producers. MANY stories. And plenty to taste. 

Join Sauvignon Blanc SA and Stellenbosch Wine Routes at the 2026 Toyota Stellenbosch Woordfees for an evening celebrating the remarkable diversity, character and stories behind South African Sauvignon Blanc. 

Hosted by Johan Jordaan, Spier Cellar Master, the tasting brings together an exceptional line-up of Sauvignon Blanc producers – from fresh, coastal-influenced styles to more complex wines with the structure and character to develop beautifully over time.

Featuring wines from ⁠⁠Bertha Wines, ⁠⁠Kleine Zalze, ⁠⁠Le Grand Domaine, ⁠⁠Neethlingshof, ⁠⁠Neil Ellis, ⁠⁠Spier, ⁠⁠Thelema, ⁠⁠Vergelegen, ⁠⁠Villiera, ⁠⁠Visio Vintners and ⁠⁠Zorgvliet. 

Taste the wines. Hear the stories. AND take them home with you. 

Your ticket includes an exclusive guided Sauvignon Blanc tasting plus a copy of The Story of South African Sauvignon Blanc, a beautifully produced coffee-table book featuring 100 stories from the people, places and wines that have shaped this South African wine story.

Tickets can be booked through Quicket.
