Whether you are looking for a new hobby, the perfect present for a loved one or friend, or just hoping to literally “UnWined”, then this is the course for you.

The courses offer a great setting to share any questions you have ever wanted to ask about what’s in your glass or how it actually got there. In addition, this is a wonderfully sociable and relaxed way for wine lovers to get together and of enjoy a large range of proudly South African wines. Share with your family and friends and get a group together for a fun-filled evening.

Each week a winemaker, or prominent personality from a respected wine estate, will bring a range of wines for us to savour. We will cover a white and red grape type and you will be treated to a variety of at least 6 wines at each session.
