Vineyard Hotel, Claremont/Cape Town (South Africa)

August 16th, 2010

Vineyard Hotel & Spa sommelier, Mr Gregory Mutambe, has a very specific goal in mind: to make the hotel the ultimate Cape wine destination.  Apart from the Square’s Gourmet Food and Wine Evenings running in partnership with renowned Cape wine estates, Mutambe says it’s also important to appreciate smaller, lesser-known estates. “So on Monday nights from 6-7pm we host complimentary wine tastings for our resident guests and our loyal public clientele, to expose them to the Cape’s boutique estates – and the winemaker from each estate co-hosts the event too. I really would like wine lovers to become aware of what is available to them, and at the same time I’d like to contribute to and improve our existing wine list.”

As resident sommelier at the Vineyard Hotel & Spa, Mutambe is tasked with assisting diners to perfectly pair wines with the specific courses of their meal. “It is important to give an informed recommendation to your guest,” says Mutambe, “without pushing your own preferences. You have to listen to and read people’s likes, because everyone is different.”
