Cape Wine Auctions returns for 2023
The Cape Wine Auction (CWA) is returning this year, marking the 10th anniversary since its launch.
The Cape Wine Auction aims to unite the industry around a single goal of raising money for education. It is also a much sought-after ticket on Cape Town’s social calendar.
Since its inception, the event has created a benchmark in philanthropy, raising R117m, with 100% of all proceeds managed by The Cape Wine Auction Trust. These funds are distributed amongst several beneficiaries, impacting the education and lives of children in the Cape Winelands.
“This year we are celebrating a decade of The Cape Wine Auction and planning a very special event at Hazendal Wine Estate, where we are determined to raise even more than the R12m we achieved last year,” says Raymond Ndlovu, chairman of the Cape Wine Auction Trust.
