What Would Your Perfect Wine Taste Like?

Create your own blend at The Blending Table, a new monthly winemaking experience at Benguela Cove Lagoon Wine Estate.

Launching on Sunday, 29 November 2026, and taking place on the last Sunday of every month, The Blending Table invites wine lovers to step into the role of winemaker for a hands-on exploration of the art of blending.

Over approximately 2.5 hours, guests will taste four to six component wines from the current vintage, guided by Benguela Cove’s winemaker. Using tasting notes and precision pourers, they will experiment with different proportions, discovering how each component contributes to the structure, aroma, acidity and flavour of the finished wine.

Once everyone has created their blend, the winemaker will reveal his own version, compare the results and share insight into the decisions behind a balanced final wine.

And the best part? Every guest bottles and labels their own creation to take home.
More than a traditional wine tasting, The Blending Table offers an engaging introduction to the craft of winemaking – and the chance to create a bottle that is uniquely your own.
