At its inaugural 2014 event, the auction set a precedent in the South African wine industry when it raised R7.045 million for education in the Winelands. It is set to raise the bar this year when 34 'once-in-a-lifetime' lots go under the hammer at the historic Boschendal Estate on Saturday 14 February.
All the proceeds from the Auction, without offset or deduction, go to educational charities in the South African Winelands. Charity beneficiaries to date include the Pebbles Project, the MAD Charity, the Click Foundation as well as 10 other charities.
The 2015 Cape Wine Auction lots, generously donated by the Auction Ambassadors, include extremely rare local and international wine collections, gourmet dinners with world-renowned chefs, exceptional art pieces, international travel to exotic locations, exclusive private weekend parties, luxury cruises and access to the inner sanctum of the South African wine industry.
