Nottingham - South Africa growers - Walkaround tasting
Join us for our South Africa growers walkaround tasting, to meet our producers and try their delicious wines.
With a winemaking history of over 350 years, South Africa is a treasure trove of delicious wines produced by experienced and dynamic winemakers. The diversity of its landscape is reflected in its wines from classic Bordeaux-style blends, chenin blanc and pinotage, to the recent rise of Rhône grapes (red and white), and we invite you to join us and our producers to sample what South Africa has to offer which makes it such a special region.
The currently confirmed wines for the tasting can be seen below, with more to add including two from our final Generation Series release.
