Masterclass with Foundry
Wednesday, October 21, 2026
6:00 PM
Chris Williams is coming to Tannin, and he’s bringing The Foundry wines with him.
After 16 vintages as cellarmaster at Meerlust, Chris turned his attention to The Foundry, choosing fruit from vineyard sites across the Cape and making wines that give each place its own voice.
At this masterclass, Chris will pour the wines and tell you the stories behind them himself. You’ll get to taste how those different vineyards and vintages come through in the glass, with the winemaker there to talk you through it.
It’s always more fun to taste wine with the person who made it.
