Welcome Spring with MCC Tastings, Light Bites & Live Jazz at Oude Werf Hotel

Summary: Oude Werf Hotel in Stellenbosch welcomes spring with Sip the Season on Saturday, 5 September 2026, from 12:00 to 15:00. Tickets cost R345 per person and include MCC tastings from a selection of local producers, light bites and live jazz by Richard Caesar, creating a sparkling Saturday afternoon in the heart of Stellenbosch.


Spring arriving in Stellenbosch is already a fairly good reason to raise a glass. Oude Werf Hotel is adding several more.

Sip the Season returns to Oude Werf on Saturday, 5 September 2026, bringing together local MCC, light bites and live jazz for a relaxed afternoon dedicated to the start of spring.

From 12:00 to 15:00, guests can taste their way through a line-up of local producers, discover a new favourite and settle in for live music from Richard Caesar.

  • The MCC line-up brings plenty of variety to the afternoon, with Boschendal, Le Grand Domaine, Kleine Zalze, Lourensford, Villiera, De Grendel, Saltare, Peter Falke, Klein Welmoed, The Agronomist and Survivor all featured.

Tickets are priced at R345 per person, with MCC tastings, light bites and live entertainment all included.

Rather than centring the afternoon around a single producer, Sip the Season gives guests the opportunity to explore MCC from a broad selection of local names. It is a chance to compare different pours, find a favourite and enjoy a little more sparkle than the average Saturday afternoon usually provides.

The tastings are accompanied by light bites, while Richard Caesar provides the soundtrack with live jazz. With the event running for three hours, there is time to taste, snack, listen and make a proper afternoon of it without needing to rush through the experience. Tickets can be booked through Quicket.
