Asian Cuisine Dinner

Come discover how beautifully South African wines complement the vibrant flavours of Asian cuisine.

Join us for an elegant evening where the bold, aromatic flavours of Asia meet the celebrated wines of South Africa's finest estates.

The South African Wine Society invites you to an extraordinary Asian Cuisine Dinner. From a sesame-crusted Ahi Tuna starter with lemongrass vinaigrette to a succulent Korean BBQ Short Rib, the Faculty Club chef has crafted a menu that dances with spice, umami, and depth — a perfect canvas for an exceptional lineup of South African wines.

The evening opens with the effervescent Graham Beck Brut Rosé before taking you on a vinous journey through some of the Swartland's most beloved producers — from the vibrant Spioenkop Riesling and Van Loggenberg High Hopes Syrah to the storied Lammershoek Roulette vintages and the iconic Boekenhoutskloof Chocolate Block. The evening concludes with the fresh creamy textured Miles Mossop Kika NLH Chenin Blanc.
