Adventure through South African vineyards at Vivat Bacchus' brand new wine dinners this May. Each event is dedicated to showcasing a wine estate from the Rainbow Nation to showcase what South African wine really has to offer.
Each event will take place in the private dining areas of the restaurant's two branches in London Bridge and Farringdon. During the evening, you'll sample six award-winning wines from the featured estate alongside a multi-course dinner curated by Executive Chef Dane Barnard.
Each event lasts three hours, during which an expert sommelier provides insights into the characteristics of each wine and the estate's winemaking practices. Vivat Bacchus proudly boasts the city's largest selection of South African wines, so you can be sure you're sipping on the best.
