Upcoming Event
Sharing and Comparing Dinner
Tuesday, September 9, 2025 @ 6:30 p.m.
Toronto Lawn Tennis Club
In September, the South African Wine Society (SAWS) will gather with our friends from the Australian Wine Society (AWS) for a Sharing and Comparing Dinner as we get to enjoy carefully selected wines from both countries. Will you prefer wines from one country or the other?
Experience wines that tell stories of patience and tradition. From South Africa's majestic landscapes to Australia's legendary valleys, taste the depth that only time can create—including treasures from vines planted in the 1960s, where decades of rootstock wisdom flows into every glass.
Discover the tropical mystique of South African Chenin Blanc, where honeysuckle meets pineapple in perfect harmony, alongside Australia's exotic Hunter Valley Semillon with its intriguing notes of lanolin and lime—a testament to cool climate perfection.
Journey through concentrated depths of flavour, from South Africa's complex Cabernet Sauvignon with its dark chocolate elegance and Syrah's floral sophistication touched with white pepper, to Australia's rich Cabernet Malbec blend and the Barossa Valley's smoky, earth-kissed Shiraz.
Experience how two continents express similar varietals through their unique lens of terroir—where South African wines reveal their refined complexity and Australian expressions showcase their rich, mouth-filling character. Each glass offers a seamless finish that lingers, inviting contemplation and conversation.
Limited seating available. Reserve your place in this Southern Hemisphere wine adventure.
