De Toren Private Cellar, the renowned craftsmen behind some of South Africa’s most luxurious wines, in partnership with esteemed Scottish Distillery, Springbank and prestigious French Champagne House, Henriot, is offering a lot for two, unobtainable to the general public.

Enjoy a private tour of the elite 1800’s French chateau, nestled in the picturesque Reims region of Champagne and taste of some of the world’s most remarkable champagnes whilst meeting the award-winning Henriot Cellar Master, Laurent Fresnet.

Scotland offers you the luxury of choice between two incredibly unique & exclusive experiences. Experience a private tasting and tour of the historic Springbank estate, the famed family-owned distillery situated in the charming Campbeltown Village. This town, formerly known as the ‘whisky capital of the world’ will be you and your partner’s home for the duration of 2 days, offering you the sublime opportunity to truly experience the rich culture and gastronomic cuisine this village has to offer. The alternative is another incredible experience and includes two tickets to either the May 2019 or 2020 Campbeltown Malts Festival – a magnificently festive showcase of the village’s best whiskies. During this three-day festival, guests will be provided with accommodation, tickets to the annually sold-out Springbank Distillery dinner, as well as invites to the headline masterclasses at Campbeltown’s most renowned distilleries, including Springbank, Kilkerrand and Cadenheads.

De Toren Private Cellar also wish to extend a VIP invite to you and your partner or friends for a private tour and Vintage Deconstruction Tasting hosted by Winemaker, Charles Williams. This too promises to be yet another phenomenal experience.

These world-class experiences deserve to be remembered by a collection of the finest wines & whiskies. On offer in this lot, a special handcrafted De Toren wooden case containing the only two magnums ever produced of the highly reputable 2015 vintage of Wine Enthusiast’s Highest Ever Rated SA Wines, The Black Lion & Book XVII. In addition to this, the very last 4 magnums of the acclaimed Platter’s Five Star Wine, De Toren Fusion V 2009 & De Toren Z 2009, and one of the rare magnums of Henriot Champagne. From Springbank comes Longrow Red Whiskey’s reputable and inaccessible limited-edition single malts – one 11 years & the other 13 years of age, respectively matured in De Toren Cabernet Franc & Malbec barrels for the last two years.

A glorious, cross-continent bucket list tour in addition to some of the world’s finest wine & whisky collections…
