Revel in the magic and marvels of the Bottelary Hills wine region, when Mooiplaas Estate & Private Nature Reserve sets an enchanting Langtafel for the area’s seasonal Pop Up Winemakers Lunch on Sunday, 31 August.

The historic manor house on the estate beckons enthused wine and food lovers to join a close-knit winemaking community for a superb, home-cooked four course feast prepared by passionate hosts, Dirk and Kirsten Roos.

This exclusive gathering in an atmospheric 1833 Cape Dutch Herenhuis will start with a tasting of the latest vintages stemming from this esteemed sub-route of the Stellenbosch Wine Routes, focusing on Cabernet Sauvignon and Sauvignon Blanc on the day. Joining the Roos family at the long table will be fellow Bottelary Hills estates – Beyerskloof, Goede Hoop, Hartenberg and Kaapzicht – for guests to immerse themselves in their charming conversation and terroir-driven wines.

If the sound of a languid lunch in a national monument framed by award-winning vineyards is your idea of gourmet heaven, then you must make a beeline for the Bottelary Hills on 31 August.

The Bottelary Hills Winemakers Lunch at Mooiplaas starts at 12h30 (for the wine tasting, followed by lunch at 13h00) and costs R280 per person for the interactive tasting and lunch which includes a glass of wine per course. Pre bookings are essential as seating is limited. Only 40 seats available.
