Cape gets Hostex Wine Circle

This innovative concept in wine tasting, first introduced two years ago at Hostex Cape 2010, is designed in the shape of a circle, offering a select number of winemakers the exclusive opportunity to showcase their brands and cultivars to the hospitality industry in a targeted and informal environment.

"The Wine Circle has been created as a place where people from the hospitality industry can meet and chat in a relaxed setting. The circular shape was designed around the idea of bringing people together, making it the ideal platform for them to catch up and network, while tasting the select collection of wines that will be showcased in the area," says Lindy Taylor, exhibition manager of Hostex Cape.

The Wine Circle will be positioned alongside another hub of activity and interest - the Hospitality Emporium, where visitors can expect to find niche products, services and innovations from small and medium size suppliers.

Other interesting features at the expo include the South African Chefs Village, presented by Nestle Professional, featuring non-stop culinary action in the form of competitions, demonstrations and the participation of Culinary Team SA as they practice for the Culinary Olympics in October 2012.

It will this year also feature the Global Pizza Challenge and the regional Barista Championships.
