The Ben Vino Wine Festival, hosted by Benoni’s own Val Di Terra wines by Ken Forrester on June 8 in association with 20 other wine estates, was a showcase of the myriad of reasons Benoni remains a destination of choice for a great day out.
Good weather, food, entertainment, company and, naturally, wine made this festival not only a first for the East Rand, but a definite for next year’s social calendar.
The event was held at 114 on Waterhouse, Benoni Agricultural Holdings and with more than 130 wines to taste, visitors left more than mellow and satisfied that this event was worth every cent.
