Wine Dinners with Genevieve & Luddite

Wednesday, September 23, 2026

6:30 PM

Bot River has always done things a little differently, and for one night, we’re bringing together wines from two of its producers at Tannin.

Niels Verburg of Luddite Wines will be joining us to present the evening’s line-up, featuring wines from both Luddite and Genevieve MCC. We’ll explore Genevieve’s Cap Classiques alongside the Luddite wines Niels makes with his daughter Alice, where technology takes a back seat and the grapes, yeast and barrels are left to lead the way.

Chef Blaine has created six courses to take us through the full range. We’ll begin with Cap Classique, move into the whites and then settle into the reds, with magnums, older vintages and a side-by-side tasting of two Luddite Shiraz vintages along the way. There may also be a few extra surprises from the Tannin stash on the night.

If Genevieve and Luddite have been on your list to explore, this is the evening to experience both properly.
