Nick Plummer's night!

When you're tasting wine, you use four senses: sight, smell, taste, and touch.

The fifth sense, hearing, isn't utilised. Or so you thought...

A growing body of scientific evidence shows that what you hear DOES influence the taste and texture of wine.

Join us on Friday 24 May, and find out for yourself just how important a part music plays in the enjoyment of wine.

Price pp: R350 - 6 Wine in music tasting, Italian snacks. 

Pre-booking only.

TIME: 5.30am for 6pm SHARP!
