Win a Three-Course Lunch For Four + Wine-Tasting at Faber Worth R2 600
***Winner announced! Congrats to Candice Fay Benson who won this fabulous prize.
By Inside Guide • 01 August 2022
Against the backdrop of the Klein Drakenstein Mountains, inside a gracious old Cape-style building, Faber at Avondale Estate has a uniquely striking outlook: over vineyards and a sweeping valley, punctuated by Paarl Rock, the silhouette of Table Mountain and the Simonsberg mountains.
The atmosphere is wonderfully relaxed with understated elegance and a sense of the extraordinary tying everything together – from the sprawling real-life secret garden to the shaded patio with its vineyard pergola.
In the kitchen, chef Dale Stevens (formerly Jordan Restaurant and The Test Kitchen) concocts a selection of delectable dishes that not only taste and look good, but take guests on a memorable culinary journey.
The seasonal menu, where possible, is made using ingredients from the farm’s fields and garden – including edible flowers, herbs, vegetables and free-range eggs – resulting in a true farm-to-fork experience. Below is a sample menu (dependent on the produce available on the day):
Starters citrus-cured line caught swordfish; butter roasted stuffed calamari; beef “tartare”; and rare roasted blesbok loin.
Mains roasted Karoo lamb rack; Buffeljagsbaai line caught kabeljou, steamed mussel velouté; Fricassee of roasted shimeji; sous vide free range pork fillet; and dry-aged grass-fed beef sirloin.
Dessert aromatic poached guava with vanilla panna cotta; Basque cheesecake with macerated gooseberries and naartjie; and a selection of local cheeses and preserves.
During winter, the cosy interior is the perfect space to enjoy lunch by the crackling fire; on warm days, the verandah is the place to be, where sweeping vineyard and valley views set the scene.
If this sounds like your kind of Winelands outing, enter our competition below, and stand the chance to lunch for four.
