Wine and Dine to celebrate the festive season

Presented by Cape Wine Master Chris de Klerk, this edutaining course has no pre-requisites, so you are more than welcome to bring along friends and partners to share in this highly enjoyable and fun evening.

The Wine and Food course focuses on the combination of wine and food, highlighting its effect on taste. The course involves:

• A cause and effect technical tasting (a wine tasted with the five different taste sensations)
• A short discussion on wine etiquette, glasses, wine accessories and wine styles.
• This is followed by starter portion food dishes, which you will match and compare to eight different wines, ranging from rose, different styles of white and red, as well as fortified wines, all under the guidance of the presenter.
• Dishes include some of the traditionally "difficult" wine and food matches, and we look at combinations that do work!

The Food and Wine course will make for a unique Christmas gift for budding wine enthusiasts and it's a great way to spend some time with the family over the holiday season. And if you're keen to learn even more about the wine world, then take advantage of the Cape Wine Academy's Festive Season Wine Course Special Offer.
