Lourensford To Become Official Wine Sponsor For Cape Town Opera

Added: 01.01.2006

Cape Town Opera has a long tradition of bringing the arts alive, from traditional operas to modern creations fusing African and Western traditions. Inimitable style, sophistication and boldness have characterised their performances. These qualities find an ideal match in Lourensford Wine Estate, a farm with a long and illustrious history dating back to its founding in the year 1700.

Lourensford Estate is one of the most beautiful wine estates in the world. Steeped in history and heritage, the estate boasts an ultra-modern winery that produces world-class wines. Its rich soils also produce apples, pears and plums in abundance.

Set at the foot of magnificent pine-covered mountain slopes the estate spans an area of approximately 4000 hectares. After being purchased by the Wiese family in 1998, a vineyard planting program was launched with an ambitious goal: to create a giant among South African wine farms. Lourensford currently produces 27 natural wine products under five brands, comprising a volume of almost 100 000 cases.

It is with great pride that Lourensford announces its partnership with Cape Town Opera for the coming season. Lourensford will supply its ultra-premium products to Cape Town Opera and selected VIPs can look forward to seeing our wines at opening nights, press functions and special events, as well as at the bars and restaurants of the two premier operatic venues in Cape Town, the Artscape Theater and the Baxter Theater. Lourensford will also be marketing the Cape Town Opera as one of its strategic partners, providing its magnificent locale to CTO for its marketing purposes, as well as setting the stage (as it were) for future collaborations.

At Lourensford we appreciate the arts, not just for themselves, but also for the potential they have to uplift the human spirit. We are truly proud to be associated with Cape Town Opera...a toast to this fine partnership!
