Spring Has Sprang!

Madré's Kitchen is open for business. It is time to shake off those winter chills and welcome the warm summer sun. There is lots happening on the Sir Robert Stanford Estate everything is budding and blossoming, the coots gave birth to three fluffy black chicks. One happy customer sent us some pics of our sweet little friends.


As the days become warmer we get more excited about being outdoors and being outdoors means picnics! Join us for a lazy picnic relaxing on big comfy cushions while sipping a glass of Sir Robert Stanford. The picnics are a selection of cheeses, meats, patés and breads a wonderful indulgence of country goodness.

We are Taking a Little Time Out

Once in a while we like to take a break to get creative and recharge our batteries! We are busy replanting the veggie garden and pruning the roses, adding some compost in preparation for spring.

The Citroen has been dusted and polished for some Overberg country exploring. With a case of Sir Robert Stanford Shiraz safely in on the back seat we are off... see you in the spring!

We will be re-opening the 1st of September 2011

A Birthday Walk Some Wine and a Feast

Blessed with a perfect day we had our best wine walk to date! Armed with a group of enthusiastic go getters and one very happy birthday girl we headed onto the farm for a two hour wine walk. From the constant chatter to the interesting questions and answers we wandered, with purpose up into the fynbos hills.
Not to give away any of the wine walk surprises but there were some beautiful and unsual sites along the way! After a good walk we were ready for the wine and food pairing.
Returning back to Madre's Kitchen a feast of cheeses, meats, patés and freshly baked bread just to mention a few was waiting for the hungry walkers. They continued to sip on the Sir Robert Stanford Chenin Blanc and the rest of the day was filled with celebration and laughter.
