  • Lubanzi Wines has quickly become a favorite of mine! Their wines are crafted with such care and attention to sustainability, which I really appreciate. The use of natural fermentation and no additives gives the wine such a pure and authentic taste—each bottle feels like a true reflection of the grapes and the land. I love that they offer both bottled and canned options, making it easy to enjoy great wine wherever I go. The flavors are rich and well-balanced, and the overall experience feels unique. Plus, their commitment to sustainability makes every sip even better. If you're looking for high-quality, eco-conscious wines with a natural twist, Lubanzi Wines is definitely a brand to try!

  • I don’t usually reach for canned wine but wanted to give this one a try! I really enjoyed the simple + crisp flavor. Nothing complex. Would probably pair well with some snacks or a charcuterie board. This would be perfect for a picnic or a sunny day. It’s easy to throw it in the cooler and take with you wherever. Each can has about 2 glasses of wine. Love having the option of a smaller portion of wine in comparison to a bottle. Also love the branding!

  • These wines would be great for a beach day or picnic. Not super complex, but for the price point, it’ll do! The Chenin Blanc was crisp, and easy to drink.

  • Lubanzi is my favorite wine! It’s an exceptional product at an affordable price point - and the option to buy it in cans means I take it everywhere glass isn’t allowed!

  • Stop the wine aisle wandering and buy this wine! You’ll be the most loved party guest/host if you do. There is a Lubanzi wine for every occasion, but it’s hard to top a chilled can of the chenin blanc on a summer day. Plus they’re a certified b corp, carbon neutral, and fair trade. What’s not to love about that!?

  • Love this brand- the wine, the mission, and the good times that come from sharing a bottle or can of Lubanzi! The cans make it easy to bring on adventures-from camping, to beach chilling and more. Not to mention, the taste of the wines is excellent. Beyond the quality of the wines, it’s so refreshing to see a company prioritize giving back to agricultural communities at the core of the wine industry in a sustainable and meaningful way. Put simply, I’m a supporter for life. Excited to see what this company does next!

  • I discovered Lubanzi 4 years ago and its been a staple in my pantry ever since. The Chenin blanc and red blend (both cans + bottles) are absolutely delicious, dynamic, clean, and high quality — and at a very reasonable price point!! I was so excited when Lubanzi released their rosé bubbles and pet nat, which perfectly rounds out their selection to provide something for everyone. Some of my fondest memories with friends involve countless dinner parties, picnics, and backyard hang sessions which almost always featured this wine. It pairs super well with food, or with nothing at all —my personal fav is the Chenin blanc with a strong Taleggio cheese. Talk about YUM! Lubanzi’s versatility speaks to why it’s such a popular brand and this is evidenced by the countless rave reviews on this site. Simply put, Lubanzi evokes good vibes and there is no other wine I’d rather be sipping on. As a certified B-Corp and South African based company, Lubanzi also places an emphasis on giving back to the local communities that help to produce it. This aspect combined with its understated, stylish branding sets it apart from the rest. I can’t wait to see what these guys come up with next!!!

  • I didn’t know happiness had a taste until I tried Lubanzi’s Pet Nat. One sip will bring about a warm sense of nostalgia you thought you’d never experience again. Two sips will make you forget about everything that is wrong in this dark cruel world. After three sips, you will finally understand how James Hilton was able to envision the mystical city of Shangri-La. Every bottle of Lubanzi is a container of pure joy. The only bad thing about Lubanzi is that all bottles must be empty at some point.

  • When I think of Lubanzi, I think of some of my fondest memories with friends and family. Lubanzi is unique - each of its products is thoughtfully conceptualized and produced and there is truly a Lubanzi wine for every occasion. Cooking a big Italian dinner with friends? Drink the Lubanzi Red Blend! Going to a summer soirée? Bring the Lubanzi canned rosé for a refreshing and easily shareable drink. Looking to try something new and exciting? Check out their Pét-Nat! The design of the bottles is effortlessly chic, making Lubanzi a wonderful gift for special occasions. I've gifted it to colleagues over the years who have absolutely loved having these beautiful bottles in their collection.

    I've had a great experience with the Lubanzi team. One time I accidentally shipped a case of Lubanzi that I had purchased as a gift for my boss to his old apartment. The Lubanzi team was super helpful and worked with me to get the wine to the right address seamlessly.

  • OMG so drinkable and delicious! Not too sweet, not too dry, just about like a summer sunshine breezy day on the water. I keep a regular supply on hand. My friends adore it too.

    Always so good!

  • Doesn't get better than an ice cold can of Lubanzi Chenin while taking in the beauty of South Africa's wild coast (and the home of Lubanzi!). Such a cool brand, incredible mission, and even better wine :) 10/10

  • Love Lubanzi!!! The best to take on the go, fun packaging and very cool mission. The orange wine is next level.

    Wider distribution please! :)

  • This has a smooth complexity that's enjoyable overall - especially from a canned wine. One of our favorite canned wines to pick up!

  • The 2018 Lubanzi Red Blend wine in a can begins with pleasing aromas of red and black cherry, strawberry and cranberry with spice notes and a touch earthiness. Taking a sip reveals a smooth, medium-bodied, tasty wine with lots of sweet, juicy fruit plus nicely integrated spice notes and hints of chocolate. It's a light, fresh style of Rhone blend that's quite enjoyable and it fits the can format perfectly. The touch of earthiness from the nose continues and leads into the dry, long, tart, mouthwatering finish. Decent canned option but better options on the market.

  • Let me start by saying I love my wine just as much as the next person, but hate having to open an entire bottle every evening when I simply want to enjoy one glass with my dinner. So when I saw these beautiful cans of wine by Lubanzi Wines at my local Whole Foods store, I was immediately intrigued. The packaging itself was enough to lure me in, but then when I saw the flavor varieties I knew I had to give them a try. And boy was I glad I did. The Rose Bubbles was so delicious and the serving size was perfect. I loved how light and refreshing the flavor was and was a huge fan of the portability as I have found it so easy to travel with and bring along to my next dinner party or even tailgate. I will definitely be buying these wines on the regular and can’t wait to try other varieties as well.

  • Not bad!

    This is actually the first time I've ever tried canned wine despite it being a thing for so long. I got the chenin blanc and it was good. At home I'd much rather have a bottle to drink over a few nights but these were great for the beach, and for traveling for my husband and I to just have a drink each in our airBnB at the end of the day. I would purchase again for those kinds of occasions.

  • 4.5 rounded up! Packaging-wise, I love the can. I'm a sucker for a cute label! I tried the Chenin Blanc, and it was an enjoyable, friendly wine. It's very balanced, so I'd be surprised if anyone could find something to dislike about this wine. I hadn't heard of Chenin Blanc prior, so I was excited to try something new! I'm looking forward to trying the other varieties that Lubanzi offers.
