Learn about the story of South African wine from an experienced storyteller, told through tales of five maverick winemakers who shaped the South African wine industry and paired with five outstanding wines.
The wine industry attracts visionaries and romantics, poets and philosophers, artists and rebels. In South Africa, the men and women who have done the most to shape our wine industry are those who think outside the box and challenge convention. Â
From lion attacks to Texas Rangers to runaway children - the five winemakers I spotlight in this talk and tasting experience are each worthy of books of their own. I bring their stories to life and pair these stories with a carefully curated list of fine South African wines from a diversity of regions and varietals. Â
Along the way, you’ll learn about the history of South African wine - from the arrival of the Dutch and French, through to the formation of the formidable KWV and ultimately to today, where South African wines are continuously being reimagined and celebrated for their diversity.
