Get ready to raise your glass to spring in true Cape Town style! On Wednesday, 18 September, Durbanville Hills invites you to Metro Merlot – an evening where urban energy meets vineyard elegance in a celebration of one of the world’s most loved varietals.
As the sun dips behind Table Mountain and the city begins to sparkle over Table Bay, guests will be welcomed with a refreshing Merlot Sangria – the perfect sip to show off the cherry-and-raspberry charm of this versatile grape and toast the change of season.
The evening unfolds beneath the stars, with lounge-style seating and a visiting DJ spinning smooth, feel-good beats. Guests will discover five standout Durbanville Hills Merlots, each thoughtfully paired with a modern, flavour-packed bite.
Why Merlot? Because it’s cool. Literally. This cultivar thrives in the cool, coastal climate of Durbanville, where ocean breezes and expert winemaking combine to create distinctive, expressive wines. At Metro Merlot, you’ll taste it all: a rosé, a blend, a single varietal, the premium Collectors Reserve, and the award-winning Merlot 10-year-old potstill brandy. That’s not all! Discover the playful side of Merlot with specially-crafted cocktails at the Sangria station.
And for something truly indulgent? An ice-cream bar featuring handmade, Merlot-infused gelato scoops. The ultimate sweet finale.
Metro Merlot promises to be an experience: a stylish night out filled with flavour, music, ambience and connection. Whether you’re a wine lover, a foodie, or simply in the mood for a fresh take on a classic cultivar, this is your invitation to celebrate Merlot the Durbanville Hills way.
