The event was a fancy get-together of both South African and international representatives, where South Africa's best drumming band, the Limited Edition Drum Corps, set the mood for what was to be a vibey party.
The international delegates, especially, enjoyed the festivities, saying Cape Town in unlike anything they've ever experienced.
Charles-Eric Vilain and Kristina T'Seyen, owners of Alex-Alex, a chocolate and champagne pairing company in Brussels, Belgium, are looking to extent their brand to the South African Winelands, and say South Africa blew them away as soon as they set foot off the airplane.
"The friendliness of the people, and open spaces and beautiful scenery," T'Seven said, will have her coming back to see more of the country again soon.
Vilain and T'Seyen can be seen dancing alongside other delegates in the center of the photograph above.
