We love events because we love people. That’s why we have a calendar of tastings and events running throughout the year that cover everything from beer, the entire world of wine, liqueurs and spirits and food and wine matching experiences.
Our events feature experts from around the world who’ll infect you with their enthusiasm and knowledge. You’ll leave with a whole heap of new favourites and no doubt some new friends too.
You might also grab the chance to hold your own private tasting for a group of friends in our lovely shop. These evenings are tailor-made for you and it won’t involve us standing and talking at you. They’re about having fun and being interactive, just like a group of friends having a drink and a chat. Give us a shout for more details or if you have any questions.
Find out more about our upcoming events below or visit the shop to buy tickets.
Please note that none of our events have physical tickets – they work on a “name on the door” system. Event tickets are non-refundable but can be passed on to family and friends. Please let us know though so that we have the right name on the door.

Larger than life character, Peter Pentz, owner of the beautiful 18th century Groote Post vineyard on South Africa’s west coast, will take us through his range of stunning wines with a selection of tasty canapés from our friends and neighbours The Dusty Apron.
