5 Reasons to join a South African Wine Dinner
Explore South Africa’s world-renowned wine estates with a multi-course pairing dinner at Vivat Bacchus hosted by the winemakers themselves.
It seems like an opportunity to sample exquisite wine, savour fantastic food, and connect with like-minded enthusiasts wouldn’t require much persuasion. However, if you’re still undecided, here are a few compelling reasons to give wine dinners a try:
1. They are informative:
There’s hardly a better way to delve into the world of wine than a wine dinner, especially with a winemaker at your side. Vivat Bacchus’ dinners offer the perfect opportunity to discover world-renowned wineries, such as Meerlust Wine Estate. Prepare to have all the fascinating details revealed to you by the winemakers themselves, one glass at a time.
2. They are social:
Wine is often credited with bringing people together and that’s certainly true with wine dinners. Get some good wine & food, nice people, and good vibes into a room and you’re going to have some great chats. Wine lovers are a unique bunch, and when you can connect with others who share your interests – and maybe even your wine preferences – you can really expand your horizons.
3. They’ll change the way you think about wine:
Part of any new experience is gaining more knowledge and picking up new facts, opinions, and skills. As you gain a better understanding of wine, you’ll find yourself becoming more adventurous with your choices, appreciating the product in a different way! At worst, you will come away having found one or two new wines you really enjoy and some appreciation as to why
4. They are varied:
It’s a big world out there and with so many options, broadening your horizon just got a lot easier with wine dinners. By tasting multiple wine pairings, you’ll develop a broader palate and get an introduction to some great new regions, wine-making practices, and grape varieties.
5. There will be food:
Six courses exclusively created by the executive chef to pair with the wine. This means you don’t have to cook! Win-win.
