The next event is on May 23rd at the Benguela Restaurant at Lakeside Lodge, on the banks of Swartvlei Lagoon, at Sedgefield on the Garden Route.The tasting notes describe the cherry and bright red berry fruits that form the backbone of the Pinot Noir 2014, whilst hints of spice and forest floor can be detected. The palate shows a suave elegance, neatly framed by polished, grainy tannins. Good balance and graceful poise are amply exhibited. For food pairing, serve it with virtually any dish but especially with lamb, Coq au vin, game and rabbit.Visitors to Lakeside Lodge can also select from Benguela Brasserie’s extensive menu for breakfast, lunch and dinner, open from 8am - 9pm daily, closed from 5pm Sunday and all day Monday in the winter. Resident Chef Kelly-Anne Pietersen has a growing reputation on the Garden Route for her French-inspired cooking.Contact details and opening times:-Pinot Noir Launch: 1:00 – 5:00pmWine Tasting: R35 per personWine & Chocolate Pairing: R85 per personLakeside Lodge & Spa3 Lakeside Drive, Swartvlei, Sedgefield, South Africa: +27 (0)44 343 1844info@lakesidelodge.co.zawww.lakesidelodge.co.za
