Joostenberg Estate and Gerakaris Family W**es joint tasting at a Jozi w**ery 🍷
Good friends of mine, Kath and Minos Gerakaris, own a small w**ery in Jozi - yes, Jozi! The grapes, thankfully, don’t come from Jozi. Summer rainfall in Gauteng makes grape growing rather challenging so they truck grapes up from the Cape and make the w**e in their lovely little w**ery in Craighall Park. They’ve been doing it for about 15 years.
I haven’t visited the w**ery for several years, so I thought it was about time I caught up with them. I’m planning to visit on 18 September. Kath and Minos have kindly given the thumbs-up to turn my visit into a little “group visit”.
Kath and I will each pour four w**es and share the stories behind them. After the tasting you are welcome to buy a bottle or 2, order pizzas from Delta Café next door and hang out with us. It should be a relaxed evening of good w**e, good food and good company.
Date & time: Friday, 18 September 2026, from 6pm
Where: Gerakaris Family W**es, Gate B, 76 Marlborough Avenue, Craighall Park
Food: Feel free to order takeaway pizza from Delta Café after the tasting and hang out with Kath, Minos and Tyrrel for a few hours.
RSVP: Space is limited, so please RSVP as soon as possible to Tyrrel at [email protected] / 083 384 5906.
