Thursday 13 March
A unique opportunity to discover the stunning wines of Tokara, Stellenbosch, South Africa.
At the centre of the Cape Winelands lies the Simonsberg mountain, home to exceptional vineyards since the 17th century. It’s on the southern slopes, with unrivalled views over False Bay to Table Mountain, that you will find Tokara’s vineyards and olive groves.
Because of its unique location, the climate, geography and soils combine to produce perfect grapes. They are hand-picked and gently transported to a state-of-the-art cellar, where skilled winemakers transform the fruit into award-winning Cabernet Sauvignon and Sauvignon Blanc wines.
Hosted by Karl Lambour, the general manager of the Tokara Wine Estate, and Elliott O'Mara from Awin Barratt Siegel Wine Agencies in Stamford, prepare for an evening filled with excitement, delicious food and wine! Our head chef Ben and the kitchen team will craft a seasonal menu that perfectly complements the wines, promising a food experience like no other.
The evening starts in The Barn at 7pm when guests can meet and mingle. At 7.30, we all sit down for dinner around The Barn table, with wines accompanying each course.
On the night, Karl will guide us through the wines, explaining the different styles and winemaking methods that make each of these wines so different and special.
It is probably best to have booked a taxi home. However, you are welcome to leave your car here overnight or book one of our six luxurious rooms at Beech House.
You will have an enjoyable evening with good food, great wines and convivial company, and hopefully, you will have learned something about the magic of wine.
If you would like to be the first to know about our wine events and offers, and you are not already signed up to our Wine Club make sure you are signed up to our Wine Club or drop us an email at info@theolivebranchpub.com. We look forward to sharing more wine adventures with you.
