Thursday September 19, Symbiose welcomes winemaker Mick Craven! Craven Wines was born of the happy encounter between an Australian and a South African: Mick and Jeanine, two enthusiasts driven by big ideas. In 2012, after traveling the world together to hone their winemaking skills, they finally settled in Stellenbosch, South Africa's beautiful coastal region. Their hands-off approach and love of their terroir inspired this maxim: “Honest, pure wines from single sites.” Wines with identity, ripe fruit yet extremely digestible, the signature of this new wave of artisans wishing to do things differently.

The new Festival offers a festive and educational experience, focused on the discovery of wines from around the world. Organized by some fifteen agencies and local producers such as Vignoble du Faubourg, the event allows participants to taste a variety of wines while chatting with experts. With the purchase of a ticket, participants receive coupons for tastings and can take part in wine discussions.
