Durbanville Hills Winter Blending | August

Guests are welcomed to Durbanville Hills and invited to settle into winter with a glass of sparkling wine – a gentle opening to an experience designed around discovery, creativity, and connection.

From that first sip, the journey unfolds. The cellar is calm and contemplative, its cool air carrying the quiet presence of wines resting and evolving. As you move through the space with our team, you are drawn into the winemaking story: cool climate vineyards, thoughtful decisions, and the steady hands that guide each wine from concept to completion.

A highlight of the experience follows – a tasting straight from the source. Young, expressive and full of promise, it offers a rare glimpse into wine at an earlier stage of its journey, revealing layers that are seldom tasted outside the cellar.

Guests then gather around blending tables, where the focus shifts to creativity. With guidance from our winemaking team and a selection of red wine components before you, you begin crafting your own blend. Taste, adjust, refine – exploring structure, balance and style – until you create a wine that feels entirely your own.

The bottle you seal and take home becomes more than just wine; it becomes a moment captured, a personal expression of the day.

Adding a playful note to the experience, a subtle interactive element is woven into the journey – an unexpected moment that invites curiosity and light hearted engagement, reminding us that winemaking is as much about enjoyment as it is about precision.

The experience concludes at The Tangram, where a beautifully prepared two course meal awaits. Thoughtfully paired wine tasting accompanies each dish, bringing warmth, comfort and a sense of occasion that perfectly reflects the winter setting.

A one night only, winter experience on the 18th of June at 18:00 at Durbanville Hills.

At Durbanville Hills, this is more than a tasting – it’s a winter story told through wine, creativity and shared moments.
