#GrooveGuide: A Rockstar Party For a Good Cause

The Cape Wine Auction Trust is thrilled to announce that tickets are now on sale for The Celebration, part of The Cape Wine Auction 2026, which is set to take place on Saturday, February 7, 2026, at the iconic Nederburg Wine Estate.

Billed as a “rockstar party for a good cause,” The Celebration is the newest addition to South Africa’s most prestigious wine charity event. Open to all, this high-energy afternoon offers guests the chance to revel in live entertainment, curated wines, gourmet food and interactive experiences – all while supporting life-changing education initiatives across the Cape Winelands.

The announcement comes alongside an exciting new partnership with Nederburg, one of South Africa’s most celebrated wine estates and part of Heineken Beverages South Africa. This powerful collaboration marks a bold new chapter in The Cape Wine Auction’s mission to uplift education, combining philanthropy, world-class wine and unforgettable celebration.

“Through this partnership, and the introduction of The Celebration, we’re broadening our reach and welcoming more people into the magic of what this event is all about: changing lives,” says Paul Clüver, Chairman of The Cape Wine Auction Trust.

What to Expect at The Celebration:
Nederburg’s historic estate will be transformed into a vibrant, open-air experience with live music and entertainment, gourmet food stations and pre-booked picnic options, curated wine stands, craft cocktails, interactive lounges and much, much more.

Says organiser Darielle Robertson: “The evening will feature an outstanding music line‑up headlined by the hugely popular MiCasa as well as Lloyiso. Their performances are guaranteed to set the tone for a night of joy, connection and celebration.”

Complementing the music will be an exceptional culinary showcase curated by some of South Africa’s most celebrated chefs, including Reuben Riffel, Peter Tempelhoff, Pete Goffe‑Wood and more, ensuring a feast that will be as memorable as it is diverse.

Adds Clüver: “Together, the combination of world‑class entertainment and extraordinary cuisine makes The Celebration event a highlight of the Cape Wine Auction, offering guests an unparalleled opportunity to indulge in the very best of South African talent, food, wine and hospitality.”
