San Antonio will soon raise its glass to a first-of-its-kind wine bar. Cape Bottle Room<\/a>, an Austin import showcasing South African wines, will debut on November 3 at 1803 Broadway St. #108 in the historic Pearl District.<\/p>\n

New York hospitality vet Danya Declusin introduced the concept to Austin in spring 2022 with a goal of highlighting South Africa\u2019s blossoming wine industry. The nation has had a renaissance in winemaking since it abolished apartheid in the \u201890s, paving the way for a more inclusive industry.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery bottle we pour tells a story about the land, the winemaker, and South African culture,\u201d says Declusin in a release. \u201cWe couldn\u2019t imagine a better place to call our next home than San Antonio, a city that values culture, hospitality, and bringing people together.\u201d <\/p>\n

The Pearl location will offer guests the chance to enjoy tastings, wine flights, and to-go bottles of South Africa\u2019s signature varietals, like Pinotage and Chenin Blanc. The shareable small plates also pay homage to the country with charcuterie boards stacked with biltong (dried, cured beef marinated in vinegar and spices) and dro\u00ebwers (dried sausages seasoned with coriander seed, clove, and nutmeg).<\/p>\n

The future hot spot also plans to pack San Antonio\u2019s social calendar with events such as wine classes, chef dinners, and rugby watch parties. The community component is essential to Declusin, both among her customers and her suppliers.<\/p>\n

Cape Bottle Room prioritizes South African producers who use responsible growing practices and ethical craftsmanship. <\/p>\n

\u201cCape Bottle Room has always been about more than wine,\u201d Declusin adds in a statement. \u201cIt\u2019s about bringing people together through conversation and curiosity. We\u2019re thrilled to join the San Antonio community and look forward to connecting with our new neighbors.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cape Bottle Room will introduce itself to San Antonio with a soft opening between November 3-5, before celebrating a grand opening weekend, November 7-9. Hours will be Monday through Thursday, 4-10 pm; Friday, 4 pm-midnight; Saturday, noon-midnight; and Sunday, noon-9 pm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"San Antonio will soon raise its glass to a first-of-its-kind wine bar.
