Posted on: 16 May 2024 Written by: Newmark Hotels & Reserves
Wine connoisseurs and guests looking for a unique experience will relish the opportunity to delve deeper into the wines of Hazendal with a tutored tasting conducted in our underground Wine Library. Newmark Hotels & Reserves invites you to a culinary awakening on this gorgeous Stellenbosch wine estate.
Where It All Begins
The experience begins with a Citrus Vodka cocktail in the Wine Lounge, before The Hazendal’s wine ambassadors lead guests on a tour through the state-of-the-art wine cellar. Then, step into an elegant subterranean space that is home to a display of historic Hazendal bottles from decades past.
But the focus is on the present, with the tasting showcasing vintage and current award-winning releases created by Hazendal’s winemaker. Along the way, guests will learn more about the unique terroir of the Bottelary Hills and the rich winemaking heritage of the estate.
New Discoveries for the Palate
Hazendal Wine Estate’s very own Executive Chef, Michélle Theron, leads you on a culinary journey as each wine is paired with something delightful from the contemporary menu. Micro portions are served on plates made by a local ceramic artist and displayed in a magnificent glass tower.
Transition seamlessly from one taste sensation to another with our interactive pairing experience. Watch in wonder as your meals are expertly prepared and your wine is poured by our experienced sommelier.
The Hazendal pairing menu includes beef sliders, Egyptian spiced potato, apple and lime sorbet, smoked duck breast and more. Finish off with a relaxing tea and sweet treat to take home.
