About this Item
An indulgent dinner will follow, expertly complemented by a variety of Graham Beck Cap Classique sparkling wines and hosted by Graham Beck cellar master, Pieter Ferreira, or winemaker Pierre de Klerk. Activities to include a tour of the facilities, a masterclass tasting session conveyed by Pieter and Pierre and seeking to explore interesting topics, such as, what effect glassware has on the tasting experience, lees ageing vs. cork ageing, the effect of dosage, and many more. This extraordinary opportunity will end with an aspirational benchmark tasting highlighting some gems from the Graham Beck vinoteque as well as a few of the world’s finest sparkling wines.
This experience will also include 12 bottles of the Graham Beck prestigious bubblies to enjoy over the period of your stay. The day will end with a scenic sunset drive through the Graham & Rhona Beck private nature reserve, led by Graham Beck resident conservation manager, Mossie Basson.
The conversation offers a special chance to explore this very special biome - the nature reserve is home to many indigenous species of fauna including the highly endangered and rare riverine rabbit, as well as large tracts of highly sensitive succulent Karoo vegetation. A private dinner will follow at Grace House. Experience to end off with our guests enjoying a leisurely breakfast at the Grace Manor House before departure.
The property is an elegant, exclusive-use home offering an elevated, farm-style one-of-a-kind experience. Up to 12 guests are accommodated in six individual bedrooms, each comprising a spacious en-suite. Leading off the fully equipped kitchen is a contemporary dining room flowing into a welcoming family lounge.
