Heading to the 8th BEN VINO Wine Festival at the Red Roman Shed, Emperors Palace, on 14 November 2026? Here’s what to know before you go.
What’s included
Every ticket comes with a complimentary tasting glass and unlimited tastings from 25 South African wine estates, plus live music, food and craft stalls, and a kids’ activity area for younger guests. Standard Access is R285; VIP is R775 (or R1,350 for two), with a 10% discount for Winners Circle members.
What to bring
Just your ticket and a valid ID — no alcohol is served to guests under 18. It’s a cashless event, so leave the cash at home; cards and digital payments only.
Getting there
Park in the on-site parkade — safe, on-site parking is available. If you’re using a ride-share service, there are designated pick-up and drop-off areas at the venue.
What to wear
Come as you are — there’s no dress code. Comfortable shoes are still a good idea, since you’ll be on your feet moving between 25 wine estates over the day.
