As great adventure and travel enthusiasts, WineStyle would like to congratulate Rietvallei Wine Estate on this position.
"Rietvallei Wine Estate secured the rights as the Official Wine Supplier to the Volvo Ocean Race – Cape Town Stopover from 25 November – 11 December.It is the Best Sailors Sailing the most technically advanced Racing machines in the world, through the most hostile oceans on the planet. The Volvo Ocean Race is the third most viewed Television Event in the world with over 1.32 Billion cumulative TV viewers.
Rietvallei Estate Wines will be poured exclusively at the following events in Cape Town:
• Official Prize-Giving Ceremony ( 8 December)
• Volvo Ocean Race Club ( 9 – 11 December)
• Hospitality Sailing Charters ( In-Port Race/Race Restart)
“It is a huge privilege to be a part of such an amazing Global Event. We have to thank WorldSport, the organisers of the Volvo Ocean Race Cape Town Stopover, for giving Rietvallei Estate this opportunity. Although few of us in South Africa have been exposed to sailing of this magnitude, I am sure we can only imagine what these people go through every day. The gruelling and tough conditions of the ocean push them to the limits, emotionally and physically. We hope they will relax with some Rietvallei Estate Wine during their stay in Cape Town and we wish all the Teams the best of luck with the Race when it continues from Cape Town,” says Marketing Manager, Colyn Truter.
So often we see the dream lifestyle of a couple sitting on a yacht relaxing with a glass of wine. The Volvo Ocean Race is a totally different story altogether, but a wonderful opportunity for a Wine Estate to get involved and partner with such a historic and well respected event."
