Yuletide Dinner
University of Toronto Faculty Club
Friday, December 11, 2026 at 7:00 p.m.
Doors open at 6:30 p.m

A journey of flavours and a wonderful way to celebrate the season! Join us for an evening of great food, fine South African wines and, most importantly, the company of good friends.

Our Yuletide gathering brings together the warmth and generosity of the season with a traditional festive buffet and a carefully selected collection of South African wines. We begin with a sparkling Krone Borealis Brut, followed by an expressive Chardonnay and an interesting selection of reds, showcasing the diversity and character of South Africa's vineyards. The evening concludes with a delightful dessert wine.

So come out, relax, raise a glass and enjoy the good life. We look forward to welcoming you to another memorable South African Wine Society Yuletide Dinner!
