Taste over 150 wines for free – South Africa Days 2025!
At the end of August, we’ll transform Wädenswil into a South African oasis of flavor! This year, we’re celebrating 29 years of KapWeine – The Home of South African Wine, and we’re inviting you to a summer party like no other.
You can look forward to a vast selection of over 150 wines, all available for free tasting – from exciting new releases to beloved classics. Sparkling wine lovers won’t be disappointed either: A special MCC showcase will bring real highlights to your glass. Plus, you’ll have the chance to meet South African winemakers in person, who will present their wines on-site.
And what else?
For an authentic South African vibe, enjoy the Braai grill stand and the iconic Springbok Bar, where you can treat yourself to local favourites. The whole experience is accompanied by live music to set the perfect mood.
Browse arts & crafts stalls, discover delicious food offerings, or get inspired by exciting travel talks from Dreamtime Travel about your next adventure.
The wine tasting runs until 20:00, while the summer party continues until 22:00. Come by, enjoy the relaxed atmosphere, and celebrate 29 years of KapWeine with us – we can’t wait to see you there!
