They say great wine is best enjoyed with great company—and what better way to prove it than a one-night-only collaboration between two of South Africa’s most celebrated wineries?
On Wednesday, 23 April 2025, De Grendel and Steenberg are coming together for a Winemaker’s Dinner like no other, hosted at the stunning De Grendel Restaurant.
Expect an evening of exceptional wines, gourmet delights, and winemaking wisdom, all wrapped up in an atmosphere of warmth and camaraderie.
- This isn’t just a dinner—it’s a reunion. Hosting the evening are Charles Hopkins (De Grendel Cellar Master) and Elunda Basson (Steenberg Cellarmaster), two industry icons whose friendship spans decades. From Elunda’s early days as a winemaking student in 1997 to her rise as a Master of Cap Classique and champion of South African Sauvignon Blanc, she and Charles have shared a passion for crafting exceptional wines. Now, they’re bringing their expertise—and their best bottles—to your table.
An Evening to Sip & Savour
The evening kicks off with canapés and welcome drinks, setting the stage for a meticulously paired three-course dinner designed by Chef Ian. Each course will be paired with a selection of wines from both estates, carefully curated to highlight the unique terroir and craftsmanship behind every sip.
Expect behind-the-scenes stories, insider wine knowledge, and a few surprises along the way—because when two legendary winemakers get together, you know there’s bound to be some fun!
Don’t Miss Out!
