The Best of South Africa 2026

Wednesday 6th May 2026

5.30pm - 8.30pm

One Great George Street, 1 Great George Street, London SW1P 3AA

As one of the world’s leading experts on South African wines, Tim Atkin MW produces an annual Special South Africa Report highlighting the best producers and wines from this country. Based on his report, this tasting will showcase wines he has selected to appear in his list of First and Second Growths as well as a group of producers he has highlighted as ‘Rising Stars’ – the ones to watch.

This event will provide a unique overview of what’s happening in South Africa right now to give you an oversight of the modern face of winemaking in this fascinating country. The best news of all is that many of the winemakers will be there in person pouring their wines.

Ticket numbers are very limited and each year sells out with a waiting list, so we advise booking early!

[A trade and press tasting will take place during the day strictly open to bonafide trade and press. If you would like to register for this event please email clare@island-media.co.uk]
