Bush wine tasting with your gourmet feasts at Thaba Phuti

A good wine can be the ideal start to your mouth-watering meal at Thaba Phuti Lodge. The lodge offers several aperitif cultivars with low acidity levels to prevent interfering with the taste of the delicious meals. None of these wines will leave a lingering taste in your mouth. The red wines are served a bit cooler before the delectable meals to mask any form of acidity, while wines low in tannins, are recommended before dinner.

The excellent white wines are served a little warmer than normal before meals to enhance the character of the wines. Several of the best sweet wines available in South Africa are recommended before dinner since their flavor can be fully appreciated without food, while the dryer wines are recommended for the guests who need appetizers.
