Internationally special Pinotage tastings and events are hosted in Canada, Japan, Europe and the USA where there is a new excitement amongst wine lovers for Pinotage wine.

In South Africa there is a hype of excitement as numerous wine stakeholders are planning special activities, events and promotions. In the Western Cape, a Pinotage festival, Pinotage FunRun and MTB race, as well as vertical tastings and exclusive pairing menus, have been created.

Pinotage Day will also be celebrated at Die Groot Plaasproe at Sandringham with a Pinotage & Biltong tasting presented in conjunction with the Wellington Wine Route.
