Discover the perfect wine and food combo
Discover the delights of combining different food tastes with various wine styles to enhance the multiple flavours with the Cape Wine Academy's food and wine pairing course.
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 eight starter portion food dishes, which you will match and compare to 8 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.
Learn how to pair the perfect wine with the ideal meal. There are no prerequisites to attend the wine and food pairing course, so you are more than welcome to bring along friends and partners to share this highly enjoyable and fun evening. The lecture includes the wine and food for the evening.
Important advisory
• The Cape Wine Academy promotes responsible use of alcohol.
• We recommend the use of spittoons supplied at the tastings, to reduce the excessive consumption.
• Please don't wear perfume or aftershave when attending the classes - it affects everyone's ability to smell the wine.
• Bring a pen or pencil and extra paper should you wish to make additional notes.
