South African Wine Safari

Cost: $75

Guest Instructor: Aaron Meeker of Vine Street Imports

No wildlife on this safari, but plenty of adventure in the glass. Join us for an exploration of South African wines, a category defined by exceptional quality, striking diversity, and remarkable value.

South Africa occupies a fascinating place in the wine world. Its wines blend Old World elegance with New World confidence, shaped by maritime influences, ancient soils, and a deep winemaking history. In this class, you will taste a thoughtfully curated lineup of both whites and reds, featuring familiar grapes alongside varieties uniquely expressive in South Africa.

Aaron Meeker of Vine Street Imports will guide guests through the country’s key regions, styles, and producers, sharing insight into what makes South African wine so distinctive and why it has become one of the most exciting categories on today’s shelves. Expect food-friendly wines, vibrant acidity, and a sense of place that consistently over delivers.

South African wines have only recently gained widespread recognition in the United States, but their moment is clearly here. If you love discovering wines that balance character, quality, and value, this class is not to be missed.

Come taste a country that quietly produces some of the world’s most compelling wines, before the secret is fully out.
