Beyond the Tasting Note
Private wine experiences hosted by Nathan, a working winemaker. Small-group sessions for curious drinkers who want to understand how wine actually works.
-
A guided tasting that explores how wine is actually made and why it tastes the way it does. We move beyond flavour lists to discuss vineyard decisions, fermentation choices, and the subtle factors that shape what ends up in your glass. Ideal for curious drinkers who want to understand wine from the inside out. Small group. Relaxed format. Plenty of discussion.
Duration: 2 hours
Group size: 4-8 guests -
A hands-on introduction to the invisible world that turns grapes into wine. We explore yeast, fermentation, and how winemakers guide the process from juice to finished wine. Guests taste wines at different stages and learn how small decisions during fermentation shape flavour, texture and style. A fascinating session for anyone who enjoys the science behind the glass.
Duration: 2 hours
Group size: 4-8 guests -
Become the winemaker for an afternoon. Guests taste individual components and experiment with blending to create their own wine. Along the way we discuss balance, structure and how professional winemakers assemble a final cuvée. This session is interactive, slightly competitive, and always memorable.
Duration: 2 hours
Group size: 4-8 guests -
A hosted day exploring the vineyards, producers and stories behind Cape wine. Rather than rushing through tastings, we slow down and focus on understanding place, people and style. The itinerary varies depending on season and availability, but the goal is always the same: thoughtful wine experiences rather than tourist checklists.
Duration: half day
Transport: private or arranged
