Special announcement for our upcoming paint and sip dinner! We count ourselves so lucky to have Franschhoek's own GlenWood Vineyards as collaborators for our wine painting events at Village Grill & Butcher. Guests of our A Very Victorian Valentine's wine painting dinner will see why this vineyard is so special when they get an introduction to the wines from GlenWood's passionate winemaker, DP Burger! Just another bonus to make this Valentine's Day extra special!
