Nederburg's immersive Dinner of Discovery series is taking wine lovers on an exhilarating sensory adventure, and it’s been a runaway success. The June and July editions were fully booked within days of being announced, and limited tickets now remain for the remaining dates in August and September.
Presented under the bold and imaginative theme of “The African Table”, this year’s edition explores the flavours, fragrances, sounds, textures and stories of the continent through curated menus and paired Nederburg wines, all brought to life across unexpected locations on the farm.
But this isn’t your standard dinner and wine pairing.
Think blindfolds. Mystery wines. Unexpected aromas. Music that shifts your perception. A table in a place you can’t even imagine.
The journey begins the moment you arrive. A glass of award-winning wine is placed in your hand, but without your sense of sight, will you know if it’s red or white? When that visual cue is removed, your focus sharpens. Aromas bloom, textures come alive, flavours unfold in surprising ways.
You swirl. You sip. You taste differently. You feel differently. Suddenly, wine becomes a playground for the senses.
This is the heart of Nederburg’s Yours to Explore philosophy: wine as experience, discovery and connection.
Says Nederburg general manager, Kate Jackson, “The event ties in with our brand promise that there’s a table waiting for you in places you can't even imagine. Not just physical places, but also imagined ones, where your senses are fully alive. In the end, wine is a feeling, a memory, a pleasure that connects us to each other and ourselves. We want guests to apply all their senses when they visit us. To be present. To play. And to discover something memorable.”
