ABOUT

Wines of our Region
This course is an overall and hopefully informative introduction to the wines of the region within the time constraints of the program, which will be covered in English with the option of Afrikaans as appropriate.


June 4 – June 6
July 16 – July 18
August 27 – August 29


Day 1 is a brief overview of the history of winemaking at the Cape with emphasis on our region, plus selected tastings and discussions.

Day 2 will be spent at selected estates talking to winemakers, with tastings.

Day 3 will be a final discussion and wrap up of the program.


The course is intended for those wishing to be introduced to the region’s wine production in a light-hearted way and is in no way a complete nor in-depth analysis.

The course is being approached from the perspective of a Tour Guide imparting information and anticipating participation. There will be overview course notes but participants are encouraged to take their own notes as well – and if necessary.
