Discover a wine culture most of the country has never tasted. This immersive, guided tasting takes up to 12 guests on a journey through South Africa's signature grapes and regions — from vibrant, new-generation Pinotage to rare single-varietal bottlings of grapes almost no one outside the trade has heard of, like Fernão Pires, Colombar, and Palomino. South African wine makes up less than 1% of all U.S. imports, and Culture Wine Co. was founded to change that: to expand the representation of South African wine in the U.S. and share the stories of the extraordinary people behind it. Today's South African wine scene is innovative and energized, led by a young generation of winemakers committed to natural, organic, biodynamic, and regenerative practices — and to a wine culture that is genuinely open and inclusive. This class is your invitation into that community, led in person by the man introducing it to America.
Your winning bid includes:
- A private, guided South African wine tasting class for up to 12 guests, led in person by Peter Andrews
- All wines, glassware, and printed tasting materials
- Instruction and Q&A exploring South Africa's signature grapes, regions, and the stories of the producers behind them
