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.

July school holidays

We are open! The wintery days will not get in the way of a warm and comforting meal.

The 2009 Sir Robert Stanford Shiraz is now available in the wine shop on the farm. Join Alta for a wine tasting while keeping warm in front of a our wood burning fire. The 2010 Sir Robert Stanford Sauvignon Blanc will be available from the 9th July.

The winter menu teasers are a delicious curried apple soup with coconut shavings, slow cooked oxtail with creamy polenta and a traditional bobotie, just to get your taste buts going. To you can enjoy a selection of sweet temptations while sipping on our Grappa coupled with an espresso.

If a little bit of time out and fresh farm air is all you need a comforting cappuccino awaits you.
