Grape Expectations: De Grendel at Winchester Mansions, 18 August
Prepare yourself for a grape and gourmet encounter like no other when De Grendel joins culinary forces with Winchester Mansions, the legendary landmark in Sea Point. We would love for you to join us in this celebration of the senses. Winemaker Elzette du Preez tells more:
“What better way to first experience the new vintage wines such as De Grendel Koetshuis 2010 and Winifred 2009 than in a beautiful setting blending grandeur, gastronomy and a good time.
Whether you are a serious epicure or simply love our wines, this flavour journey is tailor-made for you. We sat down with Winchester’s chef and sommelier, tasting and paring till we found the perfect matches for this five course food and wine experience. Each bite and sip will be a sensation.”
