In case you were wondering what to do with yourself on February the 18th, and if you have a lot of time and money on your hands, both of which you’re not quite sure how to deal with, well, why don’t you think of getting to the Cape Wine Auction which I featured last week? Here your time and money will be put to good use and some wonderful people who are in need of support will bless you. Just in case you were wondering what you will be able to bid on, here are some ideas to whet your appetite…………………………
The Cape Wine Auction lots are unique experiences that are not available for purchase and never repeated. They include rare wines, bespoke international adventures, stays in world-class accommodations and access to the inner sanctum of the South African wine industry.
