Visit Winelands, Clifford Roberts
Donegal owners Carl Ahlström and Dr Ansua Steyn took advantage of pandemic downtime to make adjustments to the winery such as adding a large wooden deck for outdoor seating. The deck sits atop the winery, which is embedded in a hillside.
It re-opened on October 1, offering cheese and meat platters as well as The Donegal Hamburger. The indoor tasting area is chic, complete with leather Chesterfield couches, a grand piano, sleek Scandi-style furniture, and tables and a counter fashioned from sparkling wine riddling racks.
The new outside deck offers umbrellaed seating with views into the forest and birdsong to accompany tastings.
The winery is named after the historic North Irish town, pronounced do-nuh-gawl, where Ansua had a medical practice for several years. It was also where Carl proposed their marriage.
