Peter Barlow
Peter Barlow is a wine named after the man who bought the property in 1941 and lovingly restored it, at the same time taking South African wine making to another level. His grandson, Murray Barlow, is now at the helm of the wine making. The wine itself is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon and a rich, robust South African example of the varietal.

MEERLUST ROOM

Private Tastings
Whether it’s wine or cheese or both, private tastings for groups of 12/15 or more people are available at both our branches. Prices depend on the number of people attending and which wines you choose to taste. Please provide us with your budget, what type of tasting you are interested in and dates and number of people, and we will prepare a tasting proposal and check availability. The following are five of our tasting packages, offering a wide array of options, but please contact us if you are looking for something else and we will find something to suit your requirements.
OLD VS NEW WORLD – FRANCE VS SOUTH AFRICA
How can the same grape variety make wines that are completely different? Comparing classic French wines with those emerging from South Africa, we will look at similarities and differences and discuss the factors that play a part in creating the final wine.
THE VB EXPERIENCE – SIGNATURE WINE AND CHEESE
Love cheese? Love wine? Take a trip with us down the Vivat Bacchus hall of fame, where we will pull out some of our favourites to share with you. Our sommelier and cheese experts will create delicious pairings – you’ll find it hard to decide which is your favourite match!
TOUR OF SOUTH AFRICA
Paying homage to Vivat Bacchus’ roots, come and say “Cheers” with us as we take you on a tour of the Cape. We’ll sample wines from five or six different regions, including some of the biggest names in South Africa, whilst learning about South Africa’s signature grapes along the way.
