Wine talk doesn’t have to be stuffy — and neither does dinner.
On Friday, 27 June 2025, Mint Restaurant & Wood-Fired Grill at the Taj Cape Town is uncorking an evening that’s equal parts flavour, fire, and finesse with a signature experience: the Wine Wisdom Dinner, in collaboration with the iconic La Motte Wines.
This isn’t your average food and wine pairing. It’s a curated culinary journey exploring how oak shapes both what’s in your glass and on your plate.
🍷 What’s on the Table?
🧈 Freshly Baked Bread & Butter – because great things always start with carbs.
🥂 First Course: Yellowtail Tartare
With lemon snow, beetroot, avocado & mango salsa — paired with the crisp La Motte 2023 Pierneef Sauvignon Blanc.
🔥 Main Course: Slow Roasted Lamb Shank
Served with olive oil mash, charred onion, caramelised carrot, and pan jus. Paired with La Motte 2018 Pierneef Syrah Viognier — a bold match for the deep, smoky richness.
🍰 Dessert: Mango & Raspberry Cheesecake
Topped with a raspberry macaron and coconut coral tuile. Served with the elegant sparkle of La Motte 2020 Méthode Cap Classique.
All of this is enjoyed in Mint’s chic, warm dining room — where the golden glow of pendant lights and glass-lined wine displays set the scene for a night of great taste and good company.
At just R545 per person, this is a must-attend for wine lovers, foodies, or anyone who just wants a good reason to escape their usual Friday routine.
