This is the event for bubbly-o-philes, so it’s important to make your booking ASAP as space is limited.

“We’re pulling out the stops for this one,” says Melissa. “Cap Classique, like the best wines, takes time to make and reflects the seasons. To open a bottle is to taste the sunshine of a particular year and that’s exactly what’s on offer at the Proe Party.”

A large part of the excitement for this tasting extravaganza is that it will happen at the Home of Genevieve MCC, a venue that will be new to many. For years, grapes for Genevieve MCC came from pockets of Chardonnay across the region, albeit always from Bot River. In 2017 however, Genevieve MCC finally found a home when Melissa discovered a working farm where her dream for a space to give visitors the “MCC experience” became a reality.

The best of the best: Genevieve MCC for the Post-Harvest Proe Party

The history of the wine started in 2010, when the first Genevieve MCC was released – a product of the 2008 vintage. Melissa had always had a love for bubbly and when the opportunity arose to make it, she jumped. Genevieve is her second name and the patron saint of Paris, making Genevieve MCC the perfect link between great South African Cap Classique made in the style of French Champagne.

Today, the Home of Genevieve MCC also has self-catering cottages alongside the vineyards and a renovated barn where visitors can enjoy the Genevieve MCC and take in the Overberg air.

The 2020 Post-Harvest Proe Party shines a light on this gem of an enterprise, and at the same time on this renowned and fiercely independent wine region.
