Summary: Looking for a unique Women’s Day celebration in Cape Town? Nitida Wine Estate is bringing back its popular Sparkle & Pop tasting from 8 to 10 August 2026. The experience pairs four expressions of Nitida’s award winning Matriarch and Grande Matriarch MCCs with four gourmet popcorn flavours, allowing guests to discover their own favourite combinations. Limited vintage bottles and popcorn make early booking essential. More information and bookings are available at https://nitida.co.za/event/sparkle-pop-mcc-tasting/.
Women’s Day deserves a celebration with a little sparkle, a little fun and plenty of flavour, and Nitida Wine Estate has exactly that planned with the return of its much loved Sparkle & Pop tasting.
Running from 8 to 10 August, this interactive experience invites guests to enjoy four different expressions of Nitida’s celebrated MCC collection alongside four gourmet popcorn flavours.
Instead of following a fixed tasting route, guests are encouraged to mix, match and experiment, discovering the combinations that suit their own palate.
- The lineup is expected to feature the 2022 and 2023 Matriarch, together with the 2017 and 2023 Grande Matriarch, subject to the condition of the vintage bottles. If timing allows, guests may even have the opportunity to enjoy a surprise appearance from Helgard’s Riesling MCC, adding another exciting layer to the tasting.
Part of the charm is the freedom to explore. One sip might pair perfectly with buttery popcorn, while another comes alive alongside a sweeter or more savoury flavour. Every guest’s favourite combination is likely to be a little different, making the experience both relaxed and wonderfully personal.
Set against the beautiful surroundings of Nitida Wine Estate, Sparkle & Pop offers an enjoyable way to celebrate Women’s Day with friends, family or someone special while discovering how playful and versatile MCC pairings can be.
Vintage bottles and gourmet popcorn are available in limited quantities, so advance bookings are strongly recommended. Book your tasting at https://nitida.co.za/event/sparkle-pop-mcc-tasting/.
