Tailored Cape Wine Experiences
Tailored Cape Wine Experiences
Authentic experiences, rooted in connection
Uncorking Experiences, Not Just Bottles
Palate isn’t just about pouring premium vintages, it’s about crafting experiences rooted in authenticity, story, and connection.
Led by a world-renowned sommelier and key voice in South Africa’s wine community, we take you off the beaten track to uncover hidden gems, whether you’re a family, group of friends, or company seeking an unforgettable escape.
We believe true luxury is discovery, not a checklist. Our experiences surprise, delight, and connect you to what matters most: authenticity, purpose, and a good glass (or two).
Our Story
Talitha and Higgo met over a glass of wine more than 20 years ago, and from that first pour, a special vintage of friendship was born.
Having wandered through the vineyards of South Africa, Italy, and Spain, Talitha now calls Spain home. She thrives on endless glasses of vino, Spanish olives, and curating experiences for our international clients. Higgo became a world-renowned sommelier and a cornerstone of the South Africa’s wine scene. He now lives in a beautiful green valley in the Cape Winelands and curates fine wine auctions, experiences, and sommelier training.
