Stellenbosch’s own, Beyerskloof winery will partner with the President Hotel Chef on 27 June to showcase their devotion to world-class winemaking. Guests will be spoiled with an easy drinking experience with ripe and fruity reds and whites.
On 25 July, diners can enjoy the menu with the wines of Haute Cabriere winery, made with a selection of two noble cultivars, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. The structure and elegance of both wines will bring a balance and freshness to the evening.
Following Haute Cabriere on 29 August 2019, the President Hotel Chef’s menu will be complimented by the acclaimed Simonsig wine estate. Settled in a fertile, rich landscape and carrying a proud heritage dating back to 1968, Simonsig is on the most popular wineries in the Cape Winelands.
Celebrating the start of spring on 26 September, diners can indulge in a dinner pairing with the fresh, crisp and full-bodied wines of Buitenverwachting. Rooted in rich, deep soils, cooled by the temperate sea breezes from the neighbouring oceans, Buitenverwachting wines are an expression of this unique climate.
On 17 October the menu will be artfully paired with the revered Cederberg winery. Uniquely situated within the pristine environment of the Cederberg Wilderness Area, the vineyards produce reds and whites from the highest altitude in the Western Cape.
Finishing off the 2019 series on 28 November, the dinner menu will be paired with Leopard’s Leap Family Vineyards. The leading estate home to Franschhoek Valley produces some of the best vintages in South Africa and enjoys a reputation for easy-drinking Cape wines that are perfect for all occasions.
