Discover the Wines of Modern South Africa
A Deep Dive into South Africa’s Evolving Wine Culture

Author and industry expert Jim Clarke (The Wines of South Africa) and Master Sommelier Gillian Ballance will lead an in-depth discussion and guided tasting, focusing on the new wave of winemakers redefining the region.

Expect a thoughtful conversation, expert insights, and, of course, a lineup of outstanding wines that showcase the best of modern South Africa.
