A Month of Love, A Celebration of Flavour
February is brimming with romance, and at Verdicchio Restaurant & Wine Cellar, we are pouring that passion into seven extraordinary wine pairing evenings in Montecasino, Johannesburg. Each event offers a unique sensory journey, blending the artistry of fine wine with the magic of expertly crafted cuisine.
Delheim Wine Estate – 5 February 2025
Sip the Spirit of the Stellenbosch Hills
Delheim is a winery with a rich legacy, deeply rooted in family and a commitment to sustainability. As a WWF Conservation Champion, their wines reflect a deep respect for nature. Prepare for a menu where Smoked Salmon with Quinoa Salad dances with the crisp elegance of their Chardonnay Sur Lie, and a Summer Berry Tart with Mango Sorbet finds its perfect partner in the aromatic Gewürztraminer.

Boschendal – 6 February 2025
Where Heritage Meets the Art of Pairing
Step into the grandeur of Boschendal, one of South Africa’s oldest estates. This evening is about more than wine, it’s an exploration of stories told through every bold, unforgettable flavour. Imagine Crispy Fried Squid Heads kissed by a herb-lime aioli, elevated by the vibrant notes of 1685 Sauvignon Blanc. Then, indulge in Herb-Crusted Lamb Chops paired with the bold, structured Nicolas, a wine as complex as its history.
