A Taste of South Africa: Wine Tasting at Harvest House

There’s something undeniably special about tasting good wine. The event showcased a wide and wonderfully curated selection of wines, bringing together some of South Africa’s most celebrated wineries. From bold reds to elegant whites, each bottle on offer told a unique story of terroir, talent, and tradition.

Standouts & Favourites

Two names drew a lot of attention: Lismore and Orpheus & The Raven. Both delivered wines full of character and quality — Lismore with its refined, cool-climate style, and Orpheus & The Raven with bold, expressive reds that had everyone talking. Lismore is the pioneer of Wine of origin "Greyton" and it has been designated by SAWIS recognizing the unique and special terroir of this region.

The established estates, as expected, showed up strong. Muratie Wine Estate brought history and heritage in every pour, Groot Constantia delivered timeless quality, and Bosman Wines impressed with their commitment to sustainability and balance.
