The countdown to Fine Brandy Fusion, South Africa’s premier brandy showcase, has begun.

The show comes to the Cape Town International Convention Centre from 22 to 23 May and the Sandton Convention Centre in Johannesburg on 5 and 6 June.

Part entertainment and part education, Fine Brandy Fusion presents 50 of the best South African brandies from the finest distillers in the country.

Masterclasses take place every hour, affording the opportunity to meet acclaimed brandy masters and taste brandies of up to 30 years old.

Other highlights include food-and-brandy pairings (including artisanal chocolate and brandy pairings), sophisticated live music and the recently launched Urban Brandy Cocktail Route, which will be featured at the cocktail bar by means of unique cocktails.

The MC at both events will be hit South African rapper ProVerb, who appreciates brandy almost as much as his music. Standard Bank renews its support for these events, returning as the main backer.
