There is no better way to celebrate the end of the first successful year of Fairtrade promotion in South Africa with a truly local event, the iTownship Wine Festival in Gugulethu, where participants will have the opportunity to taste more than 20 Fairtrade wines, thus making it the biggest Fairtrade participation in a South African event!
For the third year in a row, the iTownship Wine Festival opens its door to both wine connoisseurs and wine curious with the aim of celebrating South African wines, encouraging linkages with an emerging wine market and investing in the economic development of the Gugulethu eKasi.
With the core philosophy of translating production and trade into empowerment for farm workers, Fairtrade could not find a better place to encourage consumers to think, and drink, differently. We currently have a total of 13 Fairtrade wine brands that are sold in South Africa and the growing market is contributing to transforming lives all over the country.
