Red Wine Event: Durbanville Wine Valley Taste of Terroir Soiree 8 August 2025
Durbanville Wine Valley has a winter red wine event coming up called the Taste of Terroir red wine soirée. This event will take place on Friday, 8 August 2025, at Loch Lynne Wine Estate.
The Taste of Terroir annual event allows you to explore a curated selection of award-winning reds from nine leading Durbanville Wine Valley producers, including:
Nitida
Meerendal
Maastricht
Mellish Family Vineyards
Klein Roosboom
Groot Phesantekraal
Durbanville Hills
D’Aria
De Grendel
Diemersdal
You’ll get to meet the winemakers, taste across vintages and styles, and find out what makes Durbanville’s cool-climate reds so unique.
A Historic Pinotage Collaboration Makes Its Debut
I am excited to learn that for the first time, Durbanville Wine Valley will launch a limited-release Pinotage, created as a collaborative blend by all participating producers. The reason for this special collaboration is to celebrate three big milestones that our country has celebrated this year:
🍇 200 years of Durbanville’s heritage
🍷 100 years since the creation of Pinotage
🗣️ 100 years of Afrikaans as an official language
This is a rare opportunity to be among the very first to taste a wine that showcases the Valley’s shared knowledge, passion and terroir.
Durbanville Wines Are Winning Big
