Durbanville Hills

From our much-loved hot chocolate and wine tasting and hands-on blending evening to midweek dining specials at The Tangram and limited-time wine offers, there's every reason to visit, linger and embrace the season with Durbanville Hills.

Midweek made memorable at The Tangram

Make midweek dining something to look forward to with The Tangram's new Winter Wednesday Dinner Special, available from 1 July. For just R395, enjoy any two main courses from chef Tamzyn Ehlers' seasonal menu, accompanied by two glasses of wine from the Durbanville Hills Collectors Reserve range.

Set against sweeping vineyard views, the menu showcases comforting winter flavours and refined local cuisine, from bobotie-spiced chicken supreme and slow-cooked pork belly to Chalmar beef fillet with coffee jus. There are also thoughtfully crafted vegetarian and vegan options. Finish on a sweet note with one of the restaurant's decadent desserts and savour a leisurely winter lunch in the warm, welcoming atmosphere of Durbanville Hills.

Hot chocolate and wine: The ultimate winter treat

Add a splash of wine to your hot chocolate and experiment to find your perfect balance of comforting warmth and sophisticated flavour.

Craft your own signature red blend

Ever wondered what it takes to create the perfect red blend? Join us on 19 August at 18h00 for an exclusive winter evening that offers a hands-on introduction to the art of blending. The experience begins with a glass of sparkling wine before guests venture into the cellar for a fascinating look at our winemaking process and a rare opportunity to taste wines directly from the barrel. Guided by our winemaking team, you'll then step into the role of winemaker, experimenting with different components to create, bottle and take home your own unique blend. Afterwards, continue the evening at The Tangram restaurant, where a delicious two-course dinner paired with Durbanville Hills wines awaits.

Tickets are R595 per person. No under-18s and no walk-ins permitted.

Enhancing your Durbanville Hills experience

Exciting changes are underway at Durbanville Hills as we renovate our beloved Olive Grove Terrace to create an even more inviting space for guests to enjoy in the future. While the work is in progress, our Tasting Room remains open as usual, and The Tangram restaurant continues to welcome guests for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Please note that the Olive Grove seating area and children's play area will be temporarily inaccessible during the renovation period.

We apologise for any inconvenience and thank you for your patience while we enhance your Durbanville Hills experience. We can't wait to share the finished result with you. To avoid disappointment, we recommend booking ahead.
