Culture Newlands Pours a New Kind of Neighbourhood Local

Wine remains the main event, with group sommelier Luyolo Mtiyane leading the programme. Before compiling the list, the Culture team asked local residents what they wanted to drink. Their requests included strong by-the-glass options, sparkling wine, Chenin Blanc and Chardonnay.

The resulting selection brings South African producers together with carefully chosen international bottles, offering more than 50 wines by the glass. That breadth should make experimentation easier—and remove the need for an entire table to agree on one bottle.

Food follows the same unfussy spirit. Matt, together with chefs Aaron Subroyal and Givemore Dausi, has created a menu of cheeses from the Fromagerie, Richard Bosman charcuterie, pintxos and tapas.

Wine tastings, producer evenings and neighbourhood events are also planned, while a membership programme offers regular guests benefits including preferential pricing and priority access to selected experiences.
