Erinvale Estate Hotel & Spa Announces New Spring & Summer Dates for Its Celebrated Wine Society Evenings
As the Cape transitions into spring, Erinvale Estate Hotel & Spa is delighted to announce the continuation of its much-loved monthly Wine Society evenings. Set against the Helderberg mountains and surrounded by some of the region’s most acclaimed vineyards, the countryside retreat invites wine enthusiasts to welcome the new season through a series of events celebrating South Africa’s remarkable wine culture.
A signature feature of Erinvale’s social calendar, these intimate gatherings have become a favourite among returning guests and discerning locals alike, providing a relaxed setting to explore the country’s diverse wine landscape. Hosted monthly in the inviting surrounds of the Magnolia Social Dining Lounge, each evening features three acclaimed wineries alongside presenter Nick Plummer and Erinvale’s culinary team. Guests are guided through up to ten wines, thoughtfully paired with a specially crafted menu, while enjoying conversations with the makers behind each bottle before concluding the evening with dessert.
Priced at R495 per person, the evenings are limited to just 35 guests, creating an intimate atmosphere for discovering new wines, connecting with winemakers and enjoying great food in good company.
