Set beneath the grand oaks of its historic Paarl estate, The Long Table: Unlocking the Vault promises an unforgettable long table experience that blends elegance, heritage, and celebration, in true Nederburg style.
This exclusive event offers guests a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to journey through seven decades of Nederburg’s finest wines, while also toasting the present with the brand’s latest award-winning vintages. It’s a night designed for those who appreciate the craftsmanship of time, the beauty of place, and the joy of shared discovery.
The evening begins with a glass of Cap Classique and gourmet canapés, enjoyed to the smooth sounds of a live saxophonist as twilight settles over the vineyards. Guests will then gather at a spectacular long table, where an extraordinary tasting awaits: seven vintages from 1964 to 2021, carefully selected from Nederburg’s world-renowned Tabernacle and Vinoteque cellars.
Normally only accessible through exclusive auctions or private collections, these wines represent a remarkable chronicle of South African winemaking excellence. Among the highlights is the legendary Nederburg Cabernet Sauvignon 1974, widely regarded as one of the country’s greatest wines and recently recorked in partnership with Amorim Cork to ensure its continued legacy.
As guests move through the decades, guided by well known Sommelier and wine judge Higgo Jacobs, each sip becomes a taste of history and a tribute to the innovation, resilience, and passion that have defined this iconic winery for more than 200 years.
Once the formal tasting concludes, the atmosphere shifts into a vibrant celebration of the present. The evening continues with a walk-around showcase of Nederburg’s more recent award-winning wines, poured and presented by the winemakers themselves.
Dinner will be served harvest-table style, featuring seasonal dishes and elevated, street food-inspired small plates, designed to complement the wines being poured. Expect bold flavours, local ingredients, and contemporary flair.
As the sun dips behind the Paarl mountains and the evening unfolds, the celebration will flow seamlessly into a DJ-led after-party under the stars. Here, guests can dance, laugh, and raise one more glass to a remarkable year, and to the timeless artistry of Nederburg wine.
This is more than an event; it’s a celebration of legacy and craftsmanship, a gathering for those who appreciate the stories behind every bottle. With limited seats available, The Long Table: Unlocking the Vault is set to be one of the most exclusive wine events on the South African calendar.
