Grande Provence Wine Estate loves to share its
heritage and passion for winemaking with all its guests.
The team have created a wonderful variety of wine-related
experiences for you to explore.
The wine tasting room at Grande Provence is open daily for wine
tasting from 10h00 to 18h00.
We offer the following wine tasting options at Grande Provence
Franschhoek.
The Taste of Grande Provence
A unique food and wine pairing experience that brings together the
expertise of two of Grande Provence Estate’s award-winning talents –
Executive Chef Guy Bennett and Winemaker Thys Smith.
Breaking boundaries, The Taste of Grande Provence offers new
insights into how to match food with wine.
The traditional approach of red meat / red wine, white meat / white
wine, etc now has new ideas brought to bear on the outcome – for
example weight, texture or umami (Japanese for savoury).
Our trained staff will guide you through the process as four superb
canapes are matched to GP wines from the Grande Provence Wine
Estate.
This basic knowledge will serve to enhance your future dining
experiences as you bring new-found knowledge and tutored palate into
effect.
Advanced bookings essential – at least 24 hours.
Standard Wine Tasting
Enjoy the experience of tasting the rich offering of wine varietals
created from nature’s bounty in the Western Cape – a region famed
for the quality of its wines – none more so than here at Grande
Provence in Franschhoek.
Taste for yourself just why so many of these hand-crafted wines have
come to the attention of wine judges both nationally and on the
world stage.
Wine Blending
Grande Provence offers a variety of unique wine blending experiences
for our guests to enjoy.
Guests receive three varietals to enable them to blend their own
style of wine.
A wine Ambassador will guide guests through the process showing how
and why certain varieties harmonise better than others.
After corking their bottle, guests can then enjoy their own
individually blended wine at home; a beautiful momento from the day.
Groups larger than 10 guests will be divided into smaller groups and
the winning group will each receive a bottle of their wine blend.
The duration of your blending experience will be approximately 1
hour.
Advanced bookings are required at least 3 days.
Minimum of 8 guests and maximum of 60 guests.
When visiting Grande Provence for any of our tasting experiences we
suggest visiting with a guided tour group or at least a driver as
there are many roadblocks in and around the Franschhoek village.
