Celebrate Women in Wine at One&Only Cape Town

What better way to celebrate trailblazing women than to explore fabulous wines crafted by some of the Cape’s most daring female winemakers in an exclusive four-course wine-paired dinner. Even better when each course is dreamed up by one of the women chefs who shape the culinary soul at this five-star V&A Waterfront resort. The evening at ROOI showcases wines from four masterful winemakers (and viticulturalists), with an interactive four-course wine-paired dinner, co-hosted by resort sommelier Luvo Ntezo together with the winemakers themselves.

Women in Wine

Bold, sensory and unapologetically expressive, this is an evening full of feminine flavour, and a story poured with every glass.

Sip on the raspberry-fresh and creamy Steenberg Brut Rosé cap classique crafted by cellarmaster Elunda Basson, accompanied by a starter of kudu bresaola with strawberry chutney, Josper-roasted red cabbage and beetroot purée; this symphony of flavour in red and rosé by chef Sabrina Cozzi.

Next up is the subtle and alluring Strydom Danièle Chenin by Rianie Strydom, winemaker and co-founder of Strydom Family Wines in Stellenbosch. To pair with this wine, chef Lorna Vitshima has dreamed up a copper-dragon-baked Belnori goat’s cheese with apricot relish, candied pecan nuts and a herb salad.

Vilafonté’s Seriously Old Dirt, a rich cabernet-based blend from winemaker Arlene Mains, pairs beautifully with the main course of cold-smoked lamb shank, burnt butter pap cake and tender stem broccoli by chef Azania Mana.

And the naturally sweet Delheim Gewürztraminer from winemaker Nongcebo Langa beautifully complements Caitlin Solomons’ sticky toffee pudding with banana split ice-cream, ginger micro sponge, spiced crumble and “sherry” anglaise.

While savouring the specially curated menu and these fabulous pairings, you’ll have the chance to meet these talented winemakers as they share their insights and stories during a fascinating evening of flavour exploration.

On ROOI’s August menu

Each of these delightful dishes will feature on ROOI’s menu (in addition to the regular à la carte menu) through the rest of the month, alongside a curated wine list with these wines and a few more made by female winemakers. So even if you can’t make the one-off dinner, you’ll be able to get a taste of the creativity and inspiration behind every glass and dish next time you visit.
