The annual Wine Fair unfolded as a three-day celebration of wine, lifestyle and networking, attracting approximately 600 guests to Kenya’s Coast.

The build-up began with an exclusive yacht cruise hosted by Wines of South Africa (WOSA), followed by an influencer luncheon at Leopard Beach Hotel in Diani, setting an elegant tone ahead of the main event.

The fair showcased an impressive selection of new wines from leading wineries across South Africa, France, Italy, Spain, Chile, New Zealand and Australia, highlighting both Old World and New World producers.

Adding a strong local presence, Mombasa-based distributors Wine & More and Sliquor participated, reinforcing the growing regional wine market.

A key highlight of the event was its immersive experience, which included a dedicated podcast centre where industry conversations and live discussions took place. Guests also enjoyed a fashion showcase by Mira by Trina, a signature feature of the Wine Fair, blending style seamlessly with the wine-tasting experience.

The celebrations concluded with a lively wine tasting and after-party at the Deck, where DJ Audra kept guests entertained late into the night, in Mombasa.

The combination of curated wine experiences, fashion, music and coastal hospitality cemented the Wine Fair’s reputation as one of the region’s premier lifestyle and wine events.
