We're thrilled to announce our continued collaboration with Steenberg Vineyards. This partnership celebrates the natural connection between fine wine and visual art through exciting initiatives like the Pascal Konan solo exhibition launch dinner and our Sip and Savour sessions at The Melrose Gallery.
When Craft Meets Canvas
It's remarkable how similar the worlds of winemaking and art creation are. Both begin with promise—whether grapes on the vine or a blank canvas—and transform through skilled hands into something extraordinary. Steenberg Vineyards, the Cape's first farm, has perfected this craft since 1682, creating wines that tell the unique story of their terroir and the vision of their talented winemakers.
Bringing Art and Wine Together
Our latest collaboration brings this synergy to life through two exciting events, namely the Pascal Konan Unfinished Symphony solo exhibition launch dinner and Wednesday wine afternoons at the gallery, both highlights of our cultural calendar. Guests will have the unique opportunity to explore Konan's powerful artwork while enjoying carefully paired Steenberg wines, each sip and brushstroke telling a story of creativity and craftsmanship. Our Sip & Savour events (every Wednesday from 16h00 - 18h00) have also become a cherished moment, inviting art enthusiasts and wine lovers alike to dive deep into sensory experiences. Each session combines curated wine tastings from Steenberg's exceptional collection with insights into our current exhibitions, creating a holistic celebration of artistic and viticultural excellence.
A FEAST FOR THE SENSES
Have you ever noticed how wine and art demand we slow down and pay attention? When you hold a glass of Steenberg's acclaimed Sauvignon Blanc to the light, observing its pale straw colour with delicate green highlights, you're engaging in the same mindful appreciation as when you stand before a captivating painting.
Join us in celebrating the natural synergy between fine wine and art appreciation.
