Malcolm Venter will showcase the best and brightest of South Africa's new winemaking talent and the wines they're producing.

Event details

Across South Africa, the world of winemaking is changing. For some years now, a so-called "new wave" of producers has been rediscovering forgotten regions and revitalising them with a new emphasis on quality, craft and care.

Join Malcolm Venter to discover what is happening at the cutting edge of South Africa's wine scene and taste your way through eight superb wines that will show the diversity and quality that exists across the country.

You’ll learn about the vineyards and the winemakers that are making South Africa one of the most exciting places to make wine in the world, and taste the wines alongside some traditional (and non-traditional) snacks.
