Oxford executive creative and marketing director Patrick Hyland said, “The Oxford Vinatix Wine Club was started to give the Upper Highway area an opportunity to taste top wines from leading South African estates and winemakers. The last few years have seen far fewer of these types of events, certainly in the Upper Highway suburbs. As Oxford, we thought it was time to get excited about wine all over again. It seems that residents agreed with us as we had an exceptionally good turnout, despite it being a chilly Hillcrest evening. Some truly great red wines certainly warmed things up.”

The Oxford Liquormarket team is also planning on taking the Oxford Vinatix club on the road, offering tastings in the estates and complexes of the Upper Highway area, and expanding their tasting events to include gin, whisky and craft rums.

Joining is free, simple and easy. Simply WhatsApp your name and VINATIX to 081 030 0583 to be added to the Vinatix WhatsApp group. Vinatix members receive a 10% discount on all wines purchased at each tasting event.
