Date: October 10, 2025 By: The Capital Team


Harare foodies and wine enthusiasts, mark your calendars! Chef Carl Joshua Ncube’s private dining space, The Capital in Avondale, is quickly becoming the epicenter for sophisticated social events, and their latest offering, The Wine Tasting Club, is setting a new standard for networking and fine dining in the city.

Forget the stuffy, silent wine lectures. The Wine Tasting Club at The Capital is a fun-filled, high-energy networking event where great connections are made, laughter flows, and unforgettable memories are forged—all over four exquisite wines and four stunning dishes.

The Ultimate Pairing: Sommeliers Meet Signature Cuisine

This isn’t your average wine night. Each event is a masterful collaboration between the best in the business:

🥂 The Wines: Curated by the Pros

Attendees are treated to a hand-selected choice of four premium wines per event. These wines are not simply served; they are meticulously curated and explained by top sommeliers. You’ll gain fascinating insights into the varietals, regions, and tasting notes, turning every sip into a learning experience—delivered with wit and approachability. Whether you’re a seasoned oenophile or a curious beginner, the sommelier’s guidance ensures everyone leaves with a deeper appreciation for the grape.

🍽️ The Food: A Culinary Symphony by Carl Joshua Ncube

To perfectly complement the wine selection, Chef Carl Joshua Ncube presents a tasting menu of four bespoke dishes. These aren’t random appetizers; they are carefully crafted courses designed to harmonise with the profile of each wine.

Drawing on his flair for modern Zimbabwean cuisine, Ncube creates pairings that surprise and delight. Imagine enjoying a crisp Sauvignon Blanc perfectly matched with his famous Lacto Fried Oyster Mushrooms, or a bold Merlot alongside a mini portion of his celebrated Biltong Steaks. The food is as much a star as the wine, making the pairing an adventure for the palate.
