Durbanville Hills Wines, situated a mere 20 minutes from Cape Town’s city centre, has transformed its tasting room and dining areas to offer contemporary spaces where one can escape the hustle and bustle of city-life and added a new conference facility for meetings with a difference.
The relaxed indoor and outdoor areas of the cellar offer panoramic views of Table Mountain, Table Bay, the rolling hills and adjoining vineyards. The area under the olive trees is perfect for a stylish picnic, offered with custom-made throws, pillows, and wicker baskets for a lazy afternoon sharing a delicious selection of locally inspired foods. The comfortable lounge furniture is the perfect setting for sipping on a glass of crisp Sauvignon blanc and sharing a selection of artisan cheeses, breads and meats from the Tasting Room Menu whilst the kids are entertained in the new play-area.
The tasting room’s décor is chic, inviting wine lovers to linger in the new lounge area with its comfy, contemporary seating and taste the range of wines on their own or paired with either chocolate or biltong.
The tasting room opens on to a new outdoor seating area where nature lovers can savour their glass of Sauvignon Blanc overlooking the new renosterveld garden, the threatened indigenous fynbos which the cellar and its member farms protect.
The Eatery restaurant on the first floor is a light and contemporary space with a double volume ceiling, wood finishes, earthy tones and South African art. The menu is unpretentious and creative, offering both breakfast and lunch and for that special occasion the restaurant could be hired for private functions and weddings.
A new conference centre with seating for 50 guests is ideal for corporate meetings and team building. Wine tastings can be included and organisers can tailor-make their refreshment and lunch requirements.
