Blaauwklippen
It is hard to believe that just more than a month ago we were in the midst of our December holidays. Long gone are those care free summer days, as we are waiting for the first grapes to arrive in the cellar mid February. To celebrate the imminent harvest, the Barouche Restaurant will offer a two or three course set harvest menu. The two course menu costs R135-00 and the three course R155-00.
Some of the seasonal delicacies on offer include mosbolletjies, korrelkonfyt (grape berry jam), pan-fried line fish topped with sautéed grapes and crispy bacon with a rocket and marinated button mushroom salad, chicken supreme filled with feta cheese and sundried tomatoes served with a must jus, and sautéed new potatoes and mint and berry compote to name but a few.

Luckily February is not only the month of hard work on a wine farm, it is also the month of love ... our Barouche Restaurant will be hosting a special Valentine's Day treat, as our delectable picnic barrel platters will be served on the Werf. The platters sell for R300 for two, including a bottle of Blaauwklippen Rose. Bookings are essential, and need to be made 24 hours in advance. Contact the restaurant on +27 (0)21 880-8222. The restaurant will still be offering their seasonal A La Carte menu as well, so be assured that there will be something for every taste!
