About Karoo & Kork

An intimate wine weekend celebrating some of South Africa’s most exciting independent winemakers.

Karoo & Kork is an intimate new wine weekend bringing together 10 carefully selected independent wine producers crafting some of South Africa’s most exciting small-batch wines.
Set in the beautiful courtyard garden of The Royal (hotel) in the charming Karoo town of Steytlerville, this carefully curated experience is for wine lovers who appreciate authenticity, craftsmanship and the opportunity to discover wines that are rarely found on the everyday tasting route.
Your ticket entitles you to taste, discover and purchase wines from all 10 featured producers across two days of tasting on Friday, 23 October and Saturday, 24 October. With only 300 tickets available, Karoo & Kork offers a truly exclusive wine experience.

To begin the weekend, guests have the opportunity to attend an optional Winemakers Dinner on Thursday, 22 October. Join a selection of our featured producers for an evening of exceptional food and thoughtfully paired wines, as they personally showcase the labels that make each of their cellars unique. Winemakers Dinner tickets are sold separately and must be booked independently of your Karoo & Kork tasting ticket.
