Join us in welcoming South African Winemaker Thomas Webb from Thelema in Stellenbosch for an intimate four-course paired meal!
Join Us for an Unforgettable South African Wine Dinner!

Situated on the South Easterly side of the Simonsberg Mountain with elevations 530m above sea level and mainly south-facing slopes, possessing some of the highest elevations in Stellenbosch, Thelema produces some of the finest South African wines on the market today. The high altitude and the rich red soils are ideal for premium quality wine grape production.

Through the understanding of their optimal climate and soil type, they have firmly entrenched themselves as one of the leaders in Cabernet Sauvignon, placing Stellenbosch Cabernets firmly on the global wine map.

With a belief that grape quality is the single most important factor in serious winemaking, their policy is one of minimum interference, allowing the wines to be a true expression of each vineyard

We are so excited to be welcoming the owner of Thelema to Goldfinch Social in the Roost for an intimate four-course meal by our top-notch culinary team led by Chef Rachael Marie. We like to keep the seating limited, so secure your spot today!
