We believe that tastings are never just about sampling wines and finding your favourites. They offer a unique opportunity for discovery—unearthing the stories woven into each vintage, the connection to the land that shapes it, and the people who bring it to life.
Our Curated Tastings offer you the chance to step into this world with us—guided by our passionate sommelier, through the cool-climate wines we cherish, in the heart of one of South Africa’s most scenic wine routes. Whether you arrive by helicopter, soaring above the vineyards, or take a leisurely drive to our private tasting room, we’re here to ensure you experience a truly unforgettable and immersive day.
