Journey with us to the fine wine regions of the world, with this introduction to Champagne, Loire, Burgundy and Piedmont.
Saturday 8 March
Book for the session which excites you most, or take part in multiple - with each of these workshops designed to be approachable and engaging for anyone wanting to dip their toes into the world of wine. As an add on, make a day out of your experience by booking a homestyle lunch prepared by Chef James Diack of Il Contadino, paired with a glass of wine from the GD cellar.
As a community of South African fine wine lovers, it's no surprise we will be lighting a fire in the evening. Feel free to come back or stay on and join us as we enjoy a glass of wine around the open flame (complimentary for Journey with Us members). If you'd like to bring along a bottle to share amongst friends - please do!
