  • Girls' Night In: How to Plan the Perfect Chateau Del Rei Tasting Party

    Ladies, it's time to pop some cans and celebrate! Forget the stuffy wine tastings of old.  We're bringing the party home with Chateau Del Rei! Chateau Del Rei is the sparkling wine that's redefining how we enjoy our bubbles. Gather your besties, clear your schedule, and let's plan the ultimate Chateau Del Rei tasting party that will have everyone talking for weeks to come! Set the scene First things first, let's create an atmosphere that screams "fun" from the moment your guests walk in. Chateau Del Rei is all about instant celebration, so your decor should reflect that vibrant energy. Think colourful streamers, fairy lights, and plenty of sparkle. Create a DIY photo booth area with props like oversized sunglasses, feather boas, and tiaras – perfect for those Instagram-worthy moments with a can of Chateau Del Rei in hand. Get your groove on Don't forget the music! Curate a playlist filled with upbeat tunes that get everyone in the mood to celebrate. Mix in some South African hits too, and you've got the perfect soundtrack for your tasting party. Sip, sip, hooray! How to Set Up a Sparkling Wine Tasting Station Let's talk about the star of the show – Chateau del Rei. Set up a tasting station with all three varieties: the Sweet White, Sweet Red, and Sweet Rosé. Arrange the cans in an eye-catching display, perhaps in a large ice bucket or a decorative cooler. Pro tip: chill the cans beforehand for optimal enjoyment. Tasting Notes for Chateau Del Rei Varieties   For each guest, provide a set of three glasses – one for each variety. You can even get creative and use colourful plastic cups to match the fun, casual vibe of Chateau del Rei. Don't forget to include water glasses and a "dump bucket" for those who want to pace themselves.   Create tasting cards for each variety, highlighting the unique characteristics of each wine. For example: Chateau Del Rei Sweet White: Made with Chenin Blanc and Muscat grapes, bursting with fruity flavours. Chateau Del Rei Sweet Red: A blend of Ruby Cabernet and Pinotage, with a uniquely South African twist. Chateau Del Rei Sweet Rosé: The perfect balance of sweetness and refreshment.   Encourage your guests to jot down their thoughts and compare notes. It's a great way to spark conversation and discover new favourites. Snacks that sparkle No tasting party is complete without some delicious bites to complement the wines. Chateau Del Rei's versatility makes it easy to pair with a variety of foods. Here are some crowd-pleasing ideas:   Cheese platter: Include a mix of soft and hard cheeses, from creamy brie to sharp cheddar. Fresh fruit: Berries, grapes, and sliced peaches pair beautifully with sparkling wines. Charcuterie: A selection of cured meats adds a savoury touch. Chocolate-covered strawberries: The perfect sweet treat to complement our wines' fruity notes. Popcorn: Believe it or not, the salty crunch of popcorn is a fantastic match for bubbly. Arrange these snacks on pretty platters or in individual servings for easy grazing throughout the night. A toast to friendship As the night winds down, gather everyone for a grand toast. Raise your cans of Chateau Del Rei and celebrate the joy of friendship and the spirit of instant celebration that brought you all together. This is the perfect moment to capture a group photo – cans in hand, of course! Are you ready to shake up your girls' night in? With Chateau del Rei, you're not just tasting wine. You're creating memories, one sip at a time.

  • Sparkling Wine for the Rest of Us: Why Chateau Del Rei Breaks All the Stuffy Wine Rules

    Sparkling Wine for Everyday Celebrations Gone are the days when sparkling wine was reserved for special occasions, sipped from delicate flutes by people in formal attire. Today, a new wave of wine enthusiasts rewrites the rules, and brands like Chateau Del Rei are leading the charge. Our South African brand shakes up the way everyone thinks about sparkling wine, making it accessible, fun, and perfect for everyday celebrations. Pop the bubble of tradition Why Canned Sparkling Wine is Changing the Game. For too long, the world of sparkling wine has been shrouded in an air of exclusivity and pretension. Let’s get serious about our sipping. Most of us aren't sommeliers, and we don't need to be to enjoy a good glass of bubbly. Chateau Del Rei understands this, giving all of us a range of sparkling wines that are approachable, delicious, and designed for the modern consumer.   Our innovative approach starts with its packaging. Forget corkscrews and fancy glasses. Chateau Del Rei comes in sleek, portable 250ml cans. This format isn't simply convenient. It's a statement. It says:   "Enjoy me anywhere, anytime."   Whether you're at a picnic, a concert, or just relaxing at home, you can have your sparkling wine without the fuss.   Flavour without the fuss Don't let the casual packaging fool you. At Chateau Del Rei, we take flavour seriously, and that’s why our range offers you a variety of options to suit everyone’s palates. Our Sweet White, made with Chenin Blanc grapes and a touch of Muscat, delivers a refreshing and flavorful experience. For people who prefer something a bit different, there's the Sweet Red, crafted from Ruby Cabernet and Pinotage grapes, offering a unique South African twist on sparkling wine.   Chateau Del Rei wines are created to be enjoyed, not analysed. They're perfect for those moments when you want to add a touch of sparkle to your day without overthinking it. It's about the joy of the experience, not the complexity of the tasting notes.
