For one night only, Tamba — Singapore's first and only West African restaurant — partners with Message in a Bottle for a multi-course dinner that traces a single line between two culinary traditions: Pinotage's South African range, and Tamba's West African spice and smoke.
From Pinotage's lightest sparkling expression through to its boldest, most structured reds, each course is paired to a different shape the grape can take.
This is the most immersive of the three festival experiences: less about analysis, more about a very special night out.
What's Included
- Multi-course tasting menu
- Wine pairings across Pinotage's range for each course

Please note for the Checkout - While this is not a physical product, it is a Service being delivered on the day of the event, which makes it GST chargeable, and we will need to collect a local Singapore "shipping" address. You are free to use the event venue address if you feel uncomfortable sharing your shipping address (we wouldn't be using your shipping address for any marketing purpose).
