Looking for the best wine & dine evenings in Cape Town? The city and surrounding Winelands regularly host food and wine experiences that bring together specially created menus, local wines and the people behind the bottles. From intimate winemaker dinners at Cape Town restaurants to multi-course pairing evenings at wine estates, these events offer an opportunity to discover new wines while enjoying dishes designed to complement each pour. Cape Town’s wine & dine calendar includes everything from relaxed tasting evenings to elaborate five-course dinners. Restaurants often collaborate with leading South African wine farms, with each course paired with a different wine selected to highlight the flavours on the plate. Many events also include an introduction from the winemaker, estate representative or sommelier, giving guests more insight into the wines, vineyards and winemaking process.
Popular Cape Town wine dinner experiences may include:
Wine dinners take place throughout Cape Town, including the City Bowl, Atlantic Seaboard, Waterfront, Southern Suburbs and surrounding areas. The nearby Cape Winelands also offer regular pairing experiences in Stellenbosch, Franschhoek, Paarl, Constantia and Durbanville. Events are normally available on selected dates and often have limited seating, particularly when a winemaker or guest chef is involved. For anyone searching for a memorable date night, an evening with friends or simply an excuse to discover another great South African wine, Cape Town’s food and wine pairing events provide plenty of opportunities to raise a glass.
