There’s cheese and wine, and then there’s Italian cheese and wine—paired like they’ve known each other forever.
At the Terra del Capo Tasting Room, Anthonij Rupert’s ode to all things Italian, the Italian Cheese & Wine Pairing is a mouthwatering experience that’s equal parts relaxed, refined, and ridiculously tasty.
For R125 per person, guests are treated to four expertly selected wines matched with a line-up of artisanal Italian cheeses that would make any nonna proud.
- Located right at the estate’s entrance, the Terra del Capo Tasting Room was designed with a serious case of Italian flair. Think elegant design, sweeping views, and a mezzanine lounge that overlooks both the estate and the bottling line.
The pairing itself is anything but predictable. Each cheese has been chosen not just for its deliciousness (though that’s a given), but for how it plays with the characteristics of the Terra del Capo, Protea, and L’Ormarins wines on offer. Creamy meets crisp. Nutty meets nuanced. Salty meets smooth. It’s like a food and wine tango—each step precise, each move full of flavor.
Tastings are presented in a friendly, interactive style that keeps the entire experience very welcoming. This is a place to unwind, sip slowly, and let your palate do the happy dance.
