INSPIRED ARTISTS CREATE ART FROM WINE
August 2007

TOKARA winery has launched its second annual Wine Made Art event, featuring 20 works created by eight Cape Town artists, at the South African National Gallery in Cape Town.

The artists, who used TOKARA wine as inspiration and as a medium, produced works in a variety of styles in keeping with the thinking behind the Wine Made Art event which was launched to encourage new and creative methods of incorporating wine experience in art.

The featured artists are Tamsin Relly, Karen Stewart, Mine Jonker, Carmen Ziervogel, Corlie de Kock, Lynette Bester, Mieke Wertchnig and Kara Wertchnig.

The Wine Made Art event was conceptualised by Cape Town agency Riot, which was awarded a Golden Loerie for the campaign in July 2007.

The launch of the Wine Made Art event coincided with the release of TOKARA's wines for 2007 which include the debut Sauvignon blanc from the winery's Highlands property in the Elgin district.

The public can view the Wine Made Art at TOKARA on the R310 outside Stellenbosch. The winery is open from 9am to 5pm weekdays and from 10am to 3pm on Saturdays and Sundays. For more details visit www.tokara.com or email or phone +27 21 808 5900.
