One of the world’s great wine stories…
In the 1700s, Constantia wine was the toast of Europe’s most opulent balls, desired by iconic figures such as Queen Victoria, Marie Antoinette, Casanova and Napoleon.
It then disappeared without a trace, only to be found in the prose and poetry of Jane Austen and Charles Dickens. Until, against the odds, the icon was reborn a century later.
This tour brings the story of the “sweet, agreeable and luscious wine” to life, through all its unexpected glories and fluctuating fortunes, ensuring that somewhere between your first step and last satisfying sip, you get a better understanding of just how fascinating the Constantia wine story is.
