2026 Cape Winemakers Guild Auction - Friday Session

All wines going under the hammer will be offered across two sessions - today, and during the Saturday Auction. This Virtual Live Auction takes place at Brickfield Canvas in Cape Town and is conducted by Strauss & Co, South Africa's leading art and wine auction house.

Taste the wines beforehand

Join one of the 2026 Cape Town or Johannesburg Masterclass Tastings - formal tutored tastings of all auction wines, presented and poured by the winemakers themselves. Tickets are available to purchase separately.

At the Friday Auction

From 10:00 to 12:00 before the session begins, join an informal interactive tasting of all auction wines, poured for you by the winemakers.

There will also be an informal self-pour tasting of the 2026 auction wines available throughout the Auction. Please note that samples are limited and cannot be guaranteed for the full duration.
