Comforting tastes to
elevate winter wine tasting experience ‘in the sky’
Waterkloof,
the impressive cellar ‘in the sky’ outside Somerset West, celebrated for
its award-winning architecture, elegant wines and omnipresent views, puts a lid
on the blues with a Winter Platter that adds comfort to its wine tasting
experience on cold, rainy days.
From
May until the end of October, this spectacular Winelands destination will
sizzle with cosy gatherings by the crackling fire in its wine tasting lounge,
where visitors can warm up to hearty taste sensations and elegant wines. There
a grand two meter diameter open
fireplace – surrounded by plush seating – sets the scene for relaxed wine
tastings enjoyed with this tantalising Winter Platter.
Available
at R130 per person, this delicious platter of homegrown goodness features all
kinds of nom noms such as homemade meat terrine, the estate’s own organic
olives, sourdough bread and a trio of cheeses which includes Waterkloof’s
naturally matured Healey’s Cheddar – crowned SA’s finest Round Cheddar at the
prestigious 2013 South African Dairy Championships.
Cocooned in a
contemporary glass and concrete sphere, Waterkloof’s tasting room is situated
inside its 120-seater fine dining restaurant, in a glass house on the slope of
the Schapenberg, overlooking
the farm and False Bay that has such an influence over its amphitheatre of
vineyards. The tasting area with
its over scaled, picture like views of the farm and nature in progress, allows
visitors to be at the centre of the farm, celebrating the culmination of
winemaking and tasting.
Waterkloof’s elegant
wines can be tasted at the estate seven day a week. A standard tasting costs
R30 per person for a flight of six wines from Waterkloof’s False Bay and
Peacock Ridge collections, or R40 for a premium tasting of the estates
exclusive Circle of Life and Circumstance wines. The Waterkloof Winter Platter
is on offer at the tasting lounge from 10h00 till 17h00.
