Executive Chef Rudi Liebenberg and Sommelier Carl Habel have teamed up with some of the most talented winemakers in South Africa to create the Wine & Dine Series.
At each event we will sample wines produced in the same region and which share the same type of soil, weather conditions, grapes and wine-making savoir-faire.
