Food and Wine Pairing evening

at Young Café

Top Restaurant The Young Café will be hosting a wine and food pairing evening

The Young Café will be hosting an exciting wine and food pairing where you’ll be able to smell, taste and learn more about the influence of wine in combination with various dishes.

Pairing your dish with the right wine will make your flavour experience even more memorable so it is important to match a wine and a dish in a way that brings the best out of both. 

During our Wine and Food pairing experience you will discover which wines pair best with which dishes and learn to always make the right choice.

Fun Facts

When pairing wines with food there are some golden rules to follow and here are a few:

  • Bite by bite : red meat and tannins in bold red wines are a beautiful combination as the proteins in the meat soften the tannins. 
  • Round and round : dishes that feel round and creamy, like a pasta carbonara, melt perfectly together with a more rounded body wine.
  • Complex complexity : with a dish with many flavour palettes a simple flavour wine will disappear so a more complex wine will compliment such a dish better.
  • Harmony or contrast? : sometimes the dish needs a contrasting wine to come to life.

At Young Café we strive to be one of the Top Restaurants in Cape Town and our excellent chefs and sommeliers work closely together to give you the best pairing possible.
