When Zurich meets South Africa
What a day! A big thank you to everyone who joined us on Saturday, 28 June 2025, at the KapWeine Tasting Room for the South African Braai Party. From 12:00 to 21:00, there was tasting, laughter and great conversations – turning the day into a truly unforgettable experience.
Right from the moment guests arrived, there was something special in the air: inside the gallery, the impressive works of Sophie Stalder and Gabriel Mazenauer created a vibrant setting – at times bold, at times subtle, always full of expression. Outside, the sculpture garden invited visitors to linger and became a relaxed open-air meeting place with a unique atmosphere.
Meanwhile, the mouthwatering aroma of Braai, the South African grilling tradition, mingled with cheerful chatter and the eager anticipation of a good glass of wine. And there was plenty to discover!
Around 85 carefully selected South African wines were available for tasting – from elegant and classic to bold and full of character. Three renowned wineries were on site to present their wines in person:
Glen Carlou, Taaibosch with Le Chant, and De Grendel brought knowledge, charm, and personality – creating direct connections to the Cape, one glass at a time.
The Tasting Room was buzzing with life. Conversations, encounters, shared discoveries, and pure enjoyment – for one special day, our space became a vibrant oasis in the heart of Zurich, where South Africa came to life.
