About this Event

Embark on a flavorful journey into the heart of South African wine country! From the rugged coastal vineyards of Walker Bay to the historic estates of Stellenbosch, you’ll explore a vibrant lineup of wines that showcase the diversity and brilliance of this world-class region — think crisp whites, characterful reds, and everything in between.

Led by Marcos Iglesias, DipWSET, this engaging session blends expert insight with interactive tasting. You’ll learn about South Africa’s unique winegrowing climate, signature grapes like Chenin Blanc and Pinotage, and the country’s fascinating winemaking history. Along the way, you’ll pick up tasting tips, food pairing ideas, and plenty of fun facts — did you know the first Cape wine was made in 1659?

Whether you’re a curious beginner or a seasoned enthusiast, this class offers something for everyone. Come for the education, stay for the flavors.
