ONLINE: South Africa's Coolest Wines - Testalonga Masterclass with Craig Hawkins

Join us for what is sure to be a momentous Masterclass with Craig Hawkins from Testalonga, one of the coolest producers in what has become one of South Africa's hottest/coolest wine regions - The Swartland. We'll be tasting some of the continent's most colourful and characterful wines.

Craig & Carla Hawkins are the owners of Testalonga, which has been at the forefront of South Africa's New Wave wine revolution for over 15 years now, crafting some of the most sought after and most delicious (not to mention eye-catching) bottles of wine coming out of South Africa.

Join us for this deep dive Masterclass, with Craig taking us through the history of the region and the story of their wine farm, with a focus on Chenin Blanc and how their winemaking style has evolved over the years. Get ready to taste through some of their key wines and learn more about one of the most progressive and interesting W.O's in South Africa - The Swartland. 

This tasting will be of great interest, if you have even the slightest interest in the wines of South Africa or Chenin Blanc, and will also complement WSET studies from Level 2 to Diploma.

For this special online tasting, an exclusive tasting kit is included in the listed price which includes a 50ml tasting sample of each wine. Note: Tasting kits will be dispatched in the week leading up to the tasting. If orders are placed fewer than 5 working days before the event the kit may not arrive in time for the live class but the wines can be enjoyed with the event recording.

Tasting kit delivery can be made to anywhere within the UK only. At present we are unable to fulfil international orders.

DON'T WANT TO RECEIVE A TASTING KIT? We understand that not everyone will want to receive the wine samples, and would rather just register to participate in the online evening without the wines. That is absolutely fine! The fee to just register for this evening without receiving a tasting kit is £10.
