South African Wine Night at Pizzata 🇿🇦🍷(Yes, we’re an Italian deli… but great wine knows no borders.) Join us for a special evening celebrating the depth, diversity, and pure class of South African wine. This guided tasting showcases standout producers from some of the country’s most respected regions — from fresh, expressive Chenin Blancs to iconic reds and a truly special dessert wine to finish. Your tasting will be paired with thoughtfully crafted food matches by our chef, designed to let each wine shine.
