As the days grow cooler, there’s a hot new reason to head out to the Helderberg.
Firehorse, the new temporary restaurant at Vergelegen Wine Estate, has announced its winter specials, plus a dinner service on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays.
Firehorse opened in April to ensure that guests could continue to enjoy the Somerset West estate’s signature hospitality, while restoration work is underway at its Stables restaurant, after a fire gutted the premises.
