Have you dreamt of blending your own wine?

Our wine blending sessions are very popular. They are fun and educational and gives you a rare opportunity to be a winemaker!

We will begin your experience with a short chat about our special wine growing area. Then we will taste several different pure varietal dry red wines typical to the Swartland followed by barrel tasting of our own wines.

Then in teams of two and with our help and using our authentic vintner equipment to experiment with blending wines in different percentages until you find a blend formula that you enjoy. Once you have custom crafted your own unique wine blend perfectly for your individual palette, we will blind judge the wines.  

The wining team wins a case of 6 wines.

We need a minimum of four people, but more is a lot more fun.Advance reservations are required.

You are welcome to bottle and take your special blend home with you. We can also recreate your blend for you, label it and deliver it or ship it to your home as a souvenir of your experience.
