The city of Cape Town will be the host of the first-ever Wine
Biodiversity Conference, which is scheduled for early April 2006 and
will be followed by the fourth biennial Cape Wine event and Wine Trade
Exhibition.
The Wine Biodiversity Conference, just like the trade exhibition,
will be held on April 4 in the Cape Town Convention Centre and revolves
around for instance South African and global wine industry, and both
local as well as worldwide biodiversity will feature an extensive
line-up of local and international speakers.
For instance, during unique conference that will be introduced
by the South Africa Minister of Agriculture, Gavin Pieterse, who is the
Chairman of the South African Wine Industry Trust. He will speak about
Transformation and Empowerment in the Wine Business in South Africa.
After the conference, a two-day Cape Wine Trade Exhibition will be
held at the Cape Town Convention Centre. Over 350 wineries in South
Africa will present more than 4 000 wines altogether. This year Cape
Wine is introducing a special pre-tasting opportunity; in a separate
venue examples of all the Sauvignon Blancs, Chenin Blancs, Chardonnays,
Cabernet Sauvignons and red blends will be presented after the Wine
Diversity Conference, on the eve of the trade show.
The Cape Wine Trade Exhibition features not only wine, but also
Cape cuisine during the Cape Kontrei Cuisine starting on April 5 at
19:00 hrs, which is a true celebration of cape wine and traditional
local cuisine.
The second day of the trade show, on April 6, will be concluded
with a party in Aid of the Pebbles Project. This social project was
established in 2004 to support South African children with special
educational needs, particularly those whose lives are directly and
indirectly affected by alcohol abuse.
In the Western Cape Province of South Africa a high number of
children are born with Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder, which later on
can cause many different kinds of learning difficulties. The Pebbles
Project aims to provide a good education for these children, who often
drop out of school due to lack of special educational facilities that
help them achieving in school.
