FOOD & WINE PAIRING DINNER WITH MEERLUST WINE ESTATE
We're delighted to announce our next Food & Wine Pairing Dinner, hosted by Deidre Taylor, Sales & Marketing Manager at Meerlust, on Wednesday, 26 August.
For eight generations, the Myburgh family has been producing fine wines at Meerlust Estate, with the family having owned the property since 1756. Steeped in history and recognised internationally for its exceptional wines, Meerlust is one of Stellenbosch's most celebrated estates.
Meaning “pleasure of the sea”, Meerlust takes its name from the estate's proximity to False Bay, just 5km from the historic manor house. The vineyards benefit from the cooling influence of ocean breezes and evening mists, creating an exceptional environment for producing wines of elegance, complexity and character.
Throughout the evening, Deidre will share the story of this remarkable estate, from its centuries-old heritage and unique maritime influence to the philosophy and craftsmanship behind some of South Africa's most iconic wines.
Chef Mathew Armbruster and Sommelier Karl Rohlandt have created a refined five-course menu, thoughtfully paired with a selection of Meerlust wines, including Rubicon, the estate's iconic Bordeaux-style blend, first produced in 1980. Each course has been designed to complement and enhance the character of the wines, bringing together the distinctive flavours of The Chefs' Table with the elegance and heritage of one of Stellenbosch's most treasured estates.
Join us for an evening of exceptional cuisine, celebrated wines and engaging conversation as we raise a glass to almost three centuries of Meerlust.
Bookings are essential and tables are limited.
