Extraordinary. Blown away. I am not one to listen to opera, but this performance changed my mind. Personal, hearfelt and passionate. Summer shares her passion and professionality of both opera and wine

My husband and I had a wonderful time at the wine testing event in May —thank you so much! The selection of South African wines was excellent, and the accompanying opera performances were spectacular. Summer is a true talent and a captivating performer. The atmosphere was lovely, and we highly recommend the experience!
