Dom and Lisa were lucky enough to spend time in Elgin over the weekend, hosted by the lovely people from Almenkerk and introduced to a few of the producers who make this area such a special part of the South African wine world.

At Almenkerk, they tasted current vintages alongside wines from 10 years ago, which is pretty special to experience side by side. They also spent time in the cellar tasting from the barrels before heading on to Radford Dale for more barrel tastings, Oak Valley for a look around their beautiful setup, and Paul Wallace Family Wines for a tasting of both the Paul Wallace and Off The Record ranges.

The day was a real reminder of why we love what we do.

Being able to see where the wines come from, meet the people behind the bottles, and spend time in the places that shape them is something we never take for granted.

A big thank you to everyone who made us feel so welcome, including Almenkerk, Radford Dale, Oak Valley, Paul Wallace Family Wines, Off The Record, La Brune and Iona.

And a special mention to Cheverells Farm for looking after us during our stay.

Feeling very lucky to have places like Elgin so close by, and even luckier to be able to share a small piece of it through the wines we pour at Tannin. 🍷

Join us for a relaxed evening that will probably make you forget it’s only Wednesday 🍷

You’re invited upstairs at Tannin for our next Wine & Dine event featuring the wines of Daschbosch by winemaker WS Visagie, paired with a five course menu by our very own Chef Blaine Coetzer.

These evenings are never about stiff wine tastings or overly formal dinners. They’re about sitting around the table, drinking great wine, eating really good food and hearing the stories behind the bottles from the people who actually make them.

For each Wine & Dine event, Chef Blaine Coetzer works closely alongside the featured winemaker to create a menu designed specifically around the wines being poured on the night, meaning every dinner ends up with its own personality.

On Monday, 1 June, we’ll be hosting upstairs at Tannin for an intimate evening of wine, canapés and conversation.

Paserene is a boutique winery based in Franschhoek, producing wines that feel expressive, elegant and deeply connected to place. The kind of wines that get people talking around the table.

This won’t be a stiff tasting. It’s a relaxed evening to taste, ask questions, learn a little more about the wines, and spend a couple of hours enjoying good wine with good people.

Rosie Rosé 2025
Bright Chardonnay 2022
Dark Syrah 2019
Union Red Blend 2020
