Traditional Sabrage Experience – Cuvée 58 at Benguela Cove

Experience the thrill of sabrage at Benguela Cove, a spectacular and interactive experience designed for sparkling wine enthusiasts. Learn the art of sabering as you expertly open a bottle of our signature Cap Classique using a traditional sabre, guided step by step by an experienced host.

The ritual of sabrage dates back to the early 1700s and is famously linked to Napoleon Bonaparte’s cavalry, who celebrated victories by striking champagne bottles with their swords. Today, this dramatic tradition lives on as a symbol of celebration, elegance, and craftsmanship.

During the experience, you’ll receive a hands-on sabrage lesson and put your skills into practice by sabering Benguela Cove’s elegant Cuvée 58 MCC – crisp, refined, and perfectly suited for your sabrage debut. The experience includes enjoying the bottle you open, making this a truly memorable moment set within the beautiful surroundings of the estate.

A unique and exciting way to celebrate, learn, and enjoy sparkling wine.
