AA Badenhorst Family Wines, Mullineux Family Wines, Porcelain Mountain Wines, Sequillo Cellars and The Sadie Family Wines invite you to the first annual Swartland Revolution Weekend.
When: 12 – 13 November 2010
Where: Riebeek Kasteel
Over the past 15 years the Swartland region has grown in stature and complexity and today there are enough contrasting wines to showcase this diversity over a weekend.
The aim of the revolutionary weekend is to raise general awareness of the area, and although there might be stylistic and philosophical differences in the wines to be showcased, they all share a common sense of place – as with all great wine regions of the world.
For the first forum we have invited Stefan Ogier from Domaine Michel & Stéphane Ogier from Ampuis, France. He is a world-renowned producer of fine Rhône wine.
There will also be tastings conducted by some of the local producers in formal and informal formats as well as great meals prepared by Reuben (of Reuben’s Restaurant fame) and local culinary hero Mynhardt Joubert of Bar Bar Black Sheep.

With amost 500 000 tourists in the Cape for the World Cup, we’ve just been told of a great review of South African wines and restaurants in the Winelands in the current BA inflight magazine, ‘Highflyer’. The article by Fiona Sims covers her visit to the Cape earlier this year together with celebrity Chef Angela Hartnett, and we have fond memories of taking them to dinner at Bar Bar Blacksheep.
