The experience

About this tour

A full day devoted to South Africa's finest bubbles. Our private MCC masterclass tour takes you to four of Franschhoek's leading Cap Classique producers for cellar tours, tastings and a sabrage demonstration, where a bottle is opened with a sword.

Méthode Cap Classique (MCC) is South Africa's traditional-method sparkling wine, made the same way as Champagne, with its second fermentation in the bottle. On this tour, you'll see how it's made and taste the difference between styles and estates, with a private guide and vehicle for the day. New to Cape bubbles? Start with our guide to sparkling wine in the Cape.

What You'll Learn

‣ How Cap Classique is made, from base wine to second fermentation in the bottle

‣ How time on the lees builds texture and flavour

‣ The difference between Blanc de Blancs, Brut, rosé and other styles

‣ How to open a bottle with a sword (and why sabrage became a tradition)
