Friday Sundowners at De Grendel

L’Heure bleue - the hour of blue. This is how the French describes the period when the sun has set, due to the wonderful quality of the light. Now imagine celebrating this special time of day on a Friday at De Grendel as the sun sets over the Atlantic Ocean and Robben Island.

Good wine and delicious chocolate pairing at De Grendel Wines.

Some say it can’t be done- to pair wine with chocolate, but if you have the right wine to complement the right chocolate it can be heaven on earth! Our winemaker Elzette will take you on a journey with six of De Grendel’s wines with mouth-watering DV chocolates. The tasting room team will show you how to pair our wines with the chocolates.

Imagine: it’s a typical rainy Friday afternoon in the Cape. You’re frazzled after a long, hard week and in serious need of unwinding. Why settle for a boring home-coming and tired take-a ways when you can be relaxing at leisure with a glass of De Grendel Wine in hand, sipping, nosing and tasting?

Our winemaker, the warm, learned and delightful Elzette du Preez, will be hosting a Bordeaux cultivars wine tasting, rounded off by a light lunch. With Elzette being such a popular tasting mentor and Bordeaux varieties such an intriguing topic you will be wise to book sooner rather than later.

Fancy a little winter cooking - De Grendel Op Die Berg Pinot Noir 2008 paired with Tomato Braised Lamb Shanks on Polenta!

"Charles Hopkins charms the so-called heartbreak grape and gets all the Burgundian smells and flavours out of it. Delicate aroma, colour, fruit and mouthfeel. A delicious wave of raspberries and the expected undertow of fresh mushrooms and freshly turned sod."

With sweeping views of Cape Town and Table Mountain, De Grendel wine estate on the Durbanville wine route is a popular wine-tasting destination. Nestled against the urban sprawl of Cape Town’s northern suburbs, the farm prides itself on consistent quality over the years. It seems one can expect only good things from a farm built on the back of a leopard.
