Slanghoek Valley entices with its winter "Travelling Dinners"
03 May 2012  by Slanghoek Wine Valley
Excellent wine, glorious food and good company, not to mention some of the most picturesque surroundings and hospitality second to none. With its rugged beauty, this small valley is fast becoming a draw card to visitors for whom its gorgeous scenery, surrounding winelands and family-run cellars are all very appealing.
Join us over the weekend of 1st to 3rd June as we celebrate winter with a travelling dinner, a small intimate affair hosted by the quartet of Slanghoek Mountain Resort, Slanghoek Cellar, Jason’s Hill and Opstal Wines which will introduce you to the wines, their winemakers and the hospitality that they have become famous for.

Nestled in the magnificent Slanghoek Valley on the slopes of the Badsberg Conservancy you will find the Slanghoek Mountain Resort, a haven for those who appreciate spectacular views and the natural beauty which surrounds them.

Included in the weekend package is:

Accommodation at Slanghoek Mountain Resort, a haven for those who appreciate spectacular views and the natural beauty which surrounds it. This includes dinner on Friday evening, as well as breakfast on Saturday and Sunday morning.

For a fun-filled Saturday morning a visit to Slanghoek Cellar for their Blend and Bottle has been arranged affording visitors the opportunity to make their own wine in their own style, using a combination of three varieties. Wines are bottled under guests own personalised label and will most definitely impress family, friends and colleagues.

The travelling dinner will commence with sundowners, canapés and a wine tasting at Slanghoek Cellar hosted by cellar master, Pieter Carstens.

The main course will be hosted by Stanley Louw, resident sixth generation owner and vintner of Opstal Estate which has a wine history dating back to 1847.

Finally join Ivy du Toit of Jason’s Hill Private Cellar, where the tradition of vine growing and wine making for the fifth generation is kept alive, for dessert and coffee.

Full cost of package: R1 250 per person (inclusive of B&B, dinner – both Friday and Saturday evening, Blend and Bottle session at Slanghoek Cellar). A detailed itinerary will be provided upon booking your weekend away. Booking is essential as space is limited to five couples. The closing date for bookings is 21 May.
