Summary: Perdeberg Wines offers a hands-on Wine Blending Experience where guests can taste, mix and adjust wines to create their own personalised blend. Priced at R350 per person, the experience includes the wines, blending tools, guidance, bottling and a custom label, with each guest taking their finished creation home.
There is wine tasting, and then there is getting involved in what goes into the bottle.
At Perdeberg Wines, guests can swap simply sipping for a little winemaking creativity with the estate’s Wine Blending Experience.
The concept is wonderfully straightforward. Perdeberg provides the wines, equipment and guidance, then hands over the creative decisions.
- Guests taste the individual wines, experiment with different combinations, make adjustments and gradually work towards a blend that suits their own palate. No two approaches need to be quite the same. A little more of one wine, a little less of another, another taste for quality control, naturally, and the blend begins to take shape.
What happens during the Wine Blending Experience at Perdeberg?
The session gives guests the opportunity to experience the blending process for themselves rather than simply tasting a finished wine.
Once a guest is satisfied with their creation, Perdeberg bottles the personalised blend and adds a custom label. The finished bottle can then be taken home, turning the session into both an experience and a rather satisfying souvenir.
The Perdeberg Wine Blending Experience costs R350 per person, including the wines, tools and guidance needed during the blending process, plus the finished bottled wine and custom label.
It is a fun option for wine lovers keen to try something more interactive and for anyone curious about the decisions involved in creating a blend. There is no need to arrive with a secret winemaking formula either. The experience includes guidance, leaving guests free to taste, experiment and see where their palate takes them.
And, of course, leaving Perdeberg with a bottle bearing a custom label does come with certain bragging rights. Saying, “They made this one themselves” certainly makes opening the next bottle a little more interesting. Bookings for the experience can be made online!
