Embarc Wine List
About Embarc
An intimate eatery found upon Parkhurst’s trendy 4th Avenue in Johannesburg, Embarc offers up a contemporary take on European cooking. The minimalist space delivers a host of delicious dishes which can be ordered either as a tasting portion or main meal – allowing guests to either create their own tasting menu or tuck into a single heartier dish.
The wine list, in the hands of co-owner and sommelier Lisa De Beer, showcases a small selection of a long list of varietals and blends, ranging from the expected to the interesting. There’s a definite focus on the more niche South African producers interspersed with some international gems.
