This extraordinary event was brought to life with the invaluable support of our amazing sponsors:

Subaru: Our official vehicle sponsor, Subaru, provided an exceptional fleet of vehicles that ensured a luxurious and smooth journey to Sun City.

Every Subaru model has been designed to bring a uniquely confident driving experience to the driver. Subaru Core DNA is what is at the heart of every Subaru make, including technology like symmetrical all-wheel drive, Subaru intelligent drive and X-mode control too.

Experiencing Subaru technology behind the wheel, is like nothing you’ve ever experienced before and anything you’ll ever experience again.

Vela Portuguese Restaurant: Located in Hartbeespoort, Vela was an incredible lunch stop on our way to Sun City. The team gave us a fascinating tour of their historic establishment, sharing its rich background and providing an educational experience about their fresh fish offerings. We thoroughly enjoyed their amazing menu, showcasing authentic Portuguese cuisine and style.

Sun City Resort, The Palace: The luxurious accommodations at The Palace made our guests feel like royalty. The decor, service, and overall experience were nothing short of top-tier, offering a perfect retreat for those who haven’t yet experienced it.

Plume Restaurant: Hosted a magnificent dinner for our guests, showcasing an excellent menu that delighted everyone’s taste buds.

Graham Beck Wines: Provided exquisite wines that enhanced the culinary experience, ensuring our guests were treated to the finest flavours.

In 2016, the House of Graham Beck made a bold decision – to specialize solely in the production of Cap Classique, the prestigious South African bottle-fermented sparkling wine. This meant halting the production of their still wines, allowing them to relentlessly focus on mastering the art of creating a Cap Classique that could rival the world’s finest sparkling wines. A pursuit of the perfect bubble that knows no bounds.

We also learnt that each Graham Beck vintage cuvée is a time capsule, embodying the inimitable qualities of that year’s outstanding grapes. Unlike non-vintage blends, which are a tapestry of different years, their vintage cuvées are distinctive and singular, encapsulating the full character of a single season’s journey from vine to vintage. Every bottle tells a unique story, sealed with a cork, capturing the essence of that year’s exceptional grapes.

Grants Whiskey: Educated our guests with a fascinating whiskey tasting session, adding an element of sophistication and discovery to the evening.

Royal Spa: Pampered our guests on Day 2 with luxurious spa treatments. The spa’s aesthetic and opulent services were truly exceptional, offering a rejuvenating experience. Guests also enjoyed the visually stunning and delicious sparkling wine from Michelle by Kayn, a proud South African brand.

Tempo Luxury: Hosted a beautiful soirée in Johannesburg, offering a breathtaking venue with excellent menu and service, providing a perfect end to the event.
