The Mercury Wine Week is KZN’s largest and longest standing wine show. In its 36th year, this sumptuous event has wine lovers from across the province thirsty for the illustrious array of Cape grapes. Hundreds of wines from the vineyards of the West will be exhibited under one roof and tasted by East Coast wine lovers and learners. Durbanite has 2 x double tickets to giveaway. To enter please comment below telling us why you would like to win. *T&C’s apply
Unlimited wine tasting each evening is coupled with a brand new feature, the Grindrod Bank Wine Theatre. This theatre will host three dedicated tastings each night, hosted by individual wine estates. Visitors are invited to pause for 20 minutes to learn about the estate and tantalise their taste buds with their unique aromas and flavours.
Finger foods and cheeses by Fairview and Checkers provide the perfect nibbles to accompany the fine wine. For those who consider ‘wine o’clock’ a sacred affair, a special R160 ticket will offer a satisfying two-night pass, valid for Wednesday and Thursday nights only. For wine clubs or groups of 10 people or more, a 20% discount applies.
Buy your tickets at the door or beforehand from Computicket at R100 per person.

I went to this last year and it was such a blast! Being able to try all sorts of wine and be in good company. I would love a chance to win some tickets to go this year!
I have my first Cape Town Wine tasting holiday coming up in September that im so excited about, and to go to the Murcury Wine Week would be so great to teach me more about the different types of wines, so i dont look too much like a novice when im in the mother city!!
Proving once again that Durban is the true home of foodies and winos!

We look forward to the Mercury Wine Week and have been attending for the last four years. We almost always leave having bought far too much wine, along with rosy cheeks and a big fat smile. No other wine show in KZN does it better!
Less whine….more wine!
I am just an extroverted young lady who loves and enjoys attending all sorts of events to get to know what is hip and happening within SA’s entertainment industry. A ticket to the show would give me more knowledge about what the different kinds of wine i drink most of the time when out, and i may just find my favourite – as all wine to me tastes good!
I would love to win 🙂 I have never been before
After a attending Taste of Durban a week back im just emped for the wine week. Im a foodie and this will help my wine knowledge and pairing the wines with my dishes.
Such an awesome competition! would love to win 🙂

I just love wine and what better to way it, than to have it with many other wine drinkers and be able to buy it too – while drinking!!!
Would love to win and take my fiancé! He absolutely loves tasting different types of wines!
I would love to be able to take my bestie to enjoy some amazing wines. She has been having a rough time and could really do with a pick me up.
I need the tickets because I’m a teacher and next week is the half way mark of term 3 and if ANYONE EVER needs wine it’s us at this stage! 🙂 not to mention… Wine is amazing and it would be an amazing experience!
Laat hy val waar hy wil! Would be awesome to win!
Learning about wine would certainly assist in appreciating it that bit more. What would be better than learning and enjoying oneself simultaneously?
Looking forward to another AMAZING Durban experience!
Would really love to win:)
Because it’s the only time I get to drink the expensive stuff!
About three years ago I went over two days. One for the reds and one for the whites. I would love to go this year. A great way to spend an evening.
Would love this as a treat for my dad & dad-in-law.. they’re great buddies & really appreciate wonderful wine & its pairings.. they would love the experience!
Bring on the vino! Whoop!
I am currently holding a bunch of grapes hostage… they are locked in my fridge where no one can find them… unless you know where I live.
Give me the tickets and all the grapes will be set free. Give them to someone else and lets just say I’ll squash the life out of them…
Do the right thing and save a bunch of grapes today!
Oh no… I missed the competition ***crying my eyes out***
