Tsogo Sun to sponsor 2019 Michelangelo International Wine & Spirits Awards
"Tsogo Sun Hotels not only hosts our premier prize-giving awards dinner, it also offers entrants into the competition exclusive tasting events as well as access to listings within the group's various hotels and lodges."
This year’s Michelangelo medal and trophy winners will have access to a number of prestigious events and opportunities where they will be invited to showcase their wines. These include public tastings in Gauteng and Cape Town towards the end of this year and four bespoke wine-dinners at various Tsogo Sun Hotels venues.
The latter will showcase Michelangelo 2019 Trophy and Platinum winners and is to be hosted by Tsogo Sun Hotels group sommelier and Michelangelo judge, Miguel Chan, after the results have been announced.
Ravi Nadasen, Tsogo Sun Hotels COO, adds: "As one of the hospitality industry’s largest purchasers of wines, Tsogo Sun has a vested interest in promoting excellence in the wine industry. We believe that South African winemakers put exceptional care and effort into producing great wines, a commitment that is echoed in the care we take to select the right wines for our hotels and restaurants, serving them as part of our world-class food & beverage offering. We have an active strategy of procuring exceptional wines, and we are proud to have been the biggest single buyer in the Nederburg Wine Auction and the Nedbank Cape Winemakers Guild Auction for several years."
According to Miguel Chan, group sommelier for Tsogo Sun Hotels, the association with the Michelangelo International Wine & Spirits Awards is part of Tsogo Sun’s commitment to offering its clients and guests South Africa’s premier wine and spirits.
"Our mutual benefits from the strategic relationship with Michelangelo lie in cementing our pole position as the leading hospitality wine-buyer in South Africa by offering the very best of South African wines," he says. "By showcasing selected Michelangelo award-winning wines on our various hotels’ and restaurants’ wine lists we are a proud supporter of the Cape wine industry’s link to the hospitality world."
In 2018 the Michelangelo International Wine & Spirits Awards received over 2,200 entries, making it the largest drinks competition in South Africa and one of the largest in the southern hemisphere.
