A FIRST-OF-ITS-KIND BUBBLY EXPERIENCE IS COMING TO ESWATINI

By Tlalane Dlamini

EZULWINI- Imagine going for a run while sipping on Simonsig. Sounds unusual? That is exactly the point.

Something different is about to hit the shores of Eswatini as The Wine Boutique presents The Bubbly Run with Simonsig, a first-of-its-kind lifestyle experience set to take place on November 21, 2026.

Blending wellness, adventure, wine, music, food and socialising, the event will challenge the traditional idea of what a run should be. Participants will take on a 5km run/walk from The Wine Boutique to Mantenga Nature Reserve Waterfall and back, with the experience designed to flow seamlessly from an active outdoor adventure into a celebration of good living.

And what better way to celebrate than with bubbles?

Imagine finishing your run, catching your breath, and raising a glass of Simonsig, with its refreshing character, lively bubbles and delicate notes of crisp green apple, pear and citrus. It is the kind of experience that turns a simple run into a lifestyle occasion.

The day will continue with wine tasting, local food, music by Mixmash and DJ Tap, before guests enjoy a Wine Soirée after the run.

Speaking about the concept, Lungile Dube-Motsa from The Wine Boutique said the team wanted to introduce something completely different to Eswatini.

“We wanted to create something different, an experience that brings together wellness, adventure, wine, music and good food. The Bubbly Run is designed to give people an opportunity to enjoy the outdoors, connect with others and celebrate life in a completely different way. We believe this will be a first for Eswatini and we are excited to introduce it to the market.”

Priced at E400 per adult, The Bubbly Run promises an experience that is less about simply crossing the finish line and more about how you celebrate getting there.

So, are you ready to run, sip, taste, dance and celebrate?

Because Eswatini is about to discover that a run can come with a little more sparkle.
