Pinotage is a distinctive grape variety that originated in South Africa in 1925 as a hybrid of pinot noir and cinsault. The grape embodies the country’s winemaking traditions and is the third most cultivated red grape in South Africa’s wine region. To honor the grape that started it all, Lanzerac Wine Estate hosts an annual Pinotage Festival, celebrating International Pinotage Day with a lively event that brings together wine connoisseurs, friends, and family. The festival offers a private tasting experience that explores the estate’s collection of pinotage wines and is an excellent opportunity to immerse oneself in South Africa’s distinctive wine culture.
The Blend Coffee Shop│Deli│Wine Boutique is hosting the Red & Sweet Wine Fest 2023, a charming winter gathering that will showcase the finest red and sweet wines of the Cape. The event will take place in the intimate back garden of Voortrekker Road, McGregor, and will feature an impressive selection of wines, local food, and live music.
