Event Details

Much of South Africa’s finest wines – particularly those based on Cabernet Sauvignon – hail from the Stellenbosch. Located just outside Capetown, this region benefits from the cooling breezes coming in from False Bay and has near perfect climate conditions for the production of high quality wine. The region is best known for elegant Bordeaux blends that straddle the difference between classic “old world” and “new world” styles, but is also capable of producing extraordinary Sauvignon Blanc and Chenin Blanc wines as well.

About the instructor: Lisa Shara Hall is senior editor of Wine Business Monthly and writes for a number of British wine publications. She is the first student from Oregon to sit for the prestigious Master of Wine qualification.
