Fantastic food and wines, an excellent venue, entertaining Master of Ceremonies (Soli Philander) and a first-class auctioneer blend to make this event one to remember.
Last year's wine auction raised an impressive R191 785, and was supported by a number of wine estates and South African artists who donated exceptional works of art and a variety of top wines for the auction. Well-known personalities including Jonty Rhodes, Pat Pillai and Gerry Rantseli also leant their support to the event. The same winning combination is on the platter for this year's extravaganza.
Noëline de Goede, the National Director of Epilepsy South Africa, said at the 2007 wine auction, “… As I talked to the guests, I learned that they were not only there for the auction, but also truly cared about the greater cause of the event, even if they were not personally affected by epilepsy. It warms my heart to know that a year's hard work culminated in such a successful event. Everybody involved in our National Charity Wine Auction assisted our organisation to turn obstacles into true potential!”
The purpose for this National Charity Wine Auction is to generate awareness about epilepsy as well as to raise funds for Epilepsy South Africa's economic and social development programs that will assist people with epilepsy and other disabilities. Tickets are R500 per person and R5000 per table, 10 people sharing.
Price includes wine tasting, a five-course meal and proceeds to go to Epilepsy South Africa. Epilepsy South Africa intends to host its National Charity Wine Auction annually and aims to ensure that it will become the biggest charity wine auction in South Africa. Epilepsy South Africa is dependant upon the goodwill of its supporters and donors. We hope to see you there.
