Wines of South Africa (WoSA) is thrilled to announce that CapeWine 2025 – the country’s largest and most prestigious wine trade show – is just around the corner. Taking place from 10–12 September 2025 at the Cape Town International Convention Centre (CTICC), this flagship triennial event will once again showcase the depth, diversity, and innovation of South African wine to an international audience.
For the first time, DHL Express and Hillebrand Gori – a company of DHL – have stepped up as headline sponsors, underscoring their commitment to supporting the global growth of South African wine.
Theme: Our Warmest Welcome
The theme, Our Warmest Welcome, reflects the heart of the South African wine industry. It’s not only about the exceptional wines, but also about the people behind them. CapeWine invites trade professionals, media, and enthusiasts from around the globe to:
CONNECT: Build meaningful relationships over conversation, shared meals, and a glass of wine.
BE INSPIRED: Experience South Africa’s reputation for quality, diversity, and innovation in winemaking.
SHARE STORIES: Meet winemakers, farmers, and sommeliers, and exchange stories that embody the spirit of the Cape Winelands.
A Milestone Year
First hosted in 2000 with just 100 exhibitors, CapeWine has grown into a showcase of over 400 producers, representing all of South Africa’s dynamic wine regions. This tenth edition marks a significant milestone: 25 years since the inaugural event.
“This tenth edition of our flagship trade event promises to be one of the best yet. The show has evolved to reflect the true essence of the South African wine industry: our phenomenal wines, our wonderfully warm people, and our spectacular landscapes. I look forward to welcoming trade from around the world to what will be an unforgettable experience,” says WoSA CEO, Siobhan Thompson.
What to Expect
Beyond the trade floor, attendees will enjoy immersive experiences that highlight South Africa’s terroir, culture, and hospitality. From discovering rare grape varieties to exploring regional wine styles, CapeWine offers more than just tastings—it’s an invitation to experience the Cape in all its richness.
Delegates from over 60 countries are expected, making it a prime opportunity for networking, storytelling, and promoting South African wine on the global stage. The show runs daily from 10:00 to 17:00.
