SONG AND WINE
"What a delightful evening!"
"...we thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful songs and wonderful voices of Threee's Company, performing nostalgic favourites that brought back so many lovely memories.
"The voices were exceptional - such great talent and a real pleasure to listen to. The wine tasting, delicious food and relaxed atmosphere added to a truly special evening"
...from our recent Swing into Spring evening at Manley Wine Estate!

PRIVATE EVENTS
At your home
In the comfort of your own home, we bring the wines to you. From the network we’ve grown in the industry, we can accommodate most, if not every need.
Whether it’s a selection of wines from one producer, a vertical tasting of several vintages, a horizontal tasting of one cultivar from several producers or regions, or an celebration of bubbles, we can create your ideal wine indulgence evening.
SPEED TASTING EVENING
yeah... exactly!
It happens just as you’d imagine it to!
As with speed dating (not that we have ever experienced speed dating, but we have researched the topic...), you have a certain length of time to experience each wine, before moving on to the next one until you’ve tried all the wines in the room.
Of course, the advantage is that you can take any number of wines home with you right away…
THEMED EVENINGS
Find your favourite
There are a number of themed evenings held at The Wine Hive in Paarl - artichoke festivals (learning to prepare and cook artichokes); Kitchen takeovers (by a renowned chef); a Tango evening (with live music and professional dancers); Meet The Legends evenings – in conversation with some of the best known names in wine, and "Women Inspired" – celebrating Women’s Month with presentations by female winemakers.
ITALIAN WINE EVENINGS
Learning fun
Italy has more than 350 recognised grape varietals, with more than 500 more grapes documented.
Guided by the inspirational Italian winemaker Michela Sfiligoi at The Wine Hive in Paarl, you will unravel the confusing tagliatelle of the Italian wine regions, cultivars and vinification processes, and enjoy the "bei vini italiani!"

“OENOSTHESIA”
- Music and Wine Pairing
This is where Nick comes into his own, with Music and Wine Pairing evenings.
Oenosthesia is the bodily sensation that is caused by stimulus from both hearing and taste, so it’s only natural that Nick offers a combination of his music and wine passions to create a music and wine pairing, using every one of your senses!
This isn’t “just another wine pairing gimmick,” indeed, music and wine pairings aren’t even innovative – there are a couple of South African farms who have been offering this at their tasting rooms for a number of years. But Nick will bring this to your door, in an immersive, stimulating and fun event.
In a food and wine pairing, your taste sensations can often be overwhelmed and confused when two separate flavours combine, so let’s cut it back to only the taste of the wine, and complement it with the messages your brain receives from another of the senses, your hearing.
There is no space for mixed messages – just interpretations of how YOU receive the tastes and the sounds.
Yes, like food and wine, it is purely subjective. But think for a minute, music expresses an emotion, and those emotional attributes are also often used to describe wines – for example: light, dark, smooth, lively, romantic, earthy, intense, subdued, delicate.
I believe it was American winemaker Clark Smith who once said, “Wine is Liquid Music.”
You have to try music and wine pairing!
