From the banks of the
Orange River to Bree Street
R350 pp
Lowerland lies on the banks of the Orange River near Prieska, where vineyards grow alongside organic grains, pecan trees and livestock. Far from the traditional Cape Winelands, the farm produces distinctive wines from varieties including Colombard, Tannat and Petit Verdot.
For this masterclass, sommelier and Cabo Wine Merchants owner Le Roi van de Vyver will guide us through five Lowerland wines and the stories behind them. Each wine will be paired with a snack by Chef Blaine, with Lowerland pecan nuts and droëwors served on arrival.
Bookings can be made via Quicket.
