La Motte
La Motte Wine Estate has again been acknowledged by the Drinks International Wine Tourism Awards for Best Food and Wine Matching Experience. This is the second time La Motte has won this prestigious award after being the champion in 2013 as well.

La Motte and its Pierneef à La Motte restaurant offers a comprehensive Food and Wine Experience introduced to guests in an array of experiences - from dedicated food and wine pairings to thoroughly researched Cape Winelands Cuisine to an innovative introduction of food and wine via the extended tourism offering on the estate.

“We are passionate about sharing food and wine culture in a manner that both entertains and educates”, says La Motte CEO, Hein Koegelenberg, “and we are honoured to be acknowledged in the company of wineries from Argentina, Chile, Greece, Italy, Portugal, Spain, the UK and US.”

The Drinks International Wine Tourism Awards aim at recognising the estates that successfully implement wine tourism to support their main focus of wine making. The international judging panel commented on La Motte being the winner in the category for Food & Wine Matching Experience: “Very focused with a lot of thought and detail. There is a cookbook and good use of social media”. La Motte was also Highly Commended as Visitor Centre for being “Classy and very professional”.
