At Benguela Cove, some wines win awards. Others win the room. Head to Head brings both into the glass, with four dishes and eight premium wines poured in blind A/B pairings.
Join Benguela Cove for an immersive food and wine experience featuring a welcome Cap Classique, four crafted dishes and eight premium wines poured in head-to-head pairs.
Each course is served with two wines, labelled simply A and B.
- Your host introduces the story behind each pairing, then leaves the final decision to the table. Taste. Compare. Debate. Vote. Drop your cork into the glass cylinder of the wine you believe deserves to win, and watch the results build throughout the afternoon.
Expect thoughtful contrasts, from:
- Different vintages of the same wine
- The same grape variety grown in two remarkable locations
- A premium wine alongside one costing a fraction of the price
- Award-winning wines recognised by respected industry judges
