Durbanville Hills: A Celebratory Sauvigon Dinner
Sexy sauvignons and a celebratory spread.
By Inside Guide • April 12, 2023
It’s a champion of the cool-climate, ocean-facing slopes and a versatile varietal that’s come far from its roots in the Loire. If you haven’t yet discovered the sexy side to sauvignon blanc (or if you’re already a sauvy-savvy sipper), head to Durbanville Hills for a dinner-and-tasting event that celebrates sauvignon in all its sassy splendour.
Durbanville Hills has designed a full-on taste adventure exploring the nuances of the varietal. It features two of their wines that scored gold at the prestigious 2023 Concours Mondial du Sauvignon (only 26 South Africa sauvignon blancs in total achieved this accolade).
A sauvignon-blanc-paired evening
The evening kicks off with canapés and paired wine tastings, a cellar tour and chats with the winemakers. With your palate fully tuned, it’s time to move through to the winery’s flagship Tangram Restaurant where panoramic views of the city lights and Table Mountain will distract even the most die-hard wine aficionado from the evening’s sauvignon focus until night falls.
Two further pairings accompany a fabulous two-course dinner designed to showcase the wines at their best. Here’s what you can look forward to:
