Win a Seven-Course Dinner Experience for Two at Lanzerac Worth R2 400
Winner announced! Congrats to Sonja Snyman who won this fabulous prize.
By Inside Guide • 04 November 2024
In the Jonkershoek Valley, surrounded by beautiful gardens, verdant vineyards and dramatic mountain vistas, Lanzerac has been the go-to place for Stellenbosch celebrations for generations. Dating back to 1682, its historic Cape Dutch Manor House and cellars resonate with a centuries-long history of hospitality, a tradition that continues in the estate’s flagship restaurant, the Manor Kitchen.
A sense of grandeur

Open and expansive, with lofty ceilings, sparkling chandeliers, large lead-glass windows and a general sense of grandeur, the Manor Kitchen buzzes every evening with hotel guests and locals, here to enjoy a fine-dining experience. On Friday and Saturday evenings chef Stephen Fraser and his team craft exquisite culinary masterpieces with a seven-course culinary journey, complete with wine-pairings selected by sommelier, Fundiswa Ziqubu.

A seven-course culinary journey

The menu comprises reimagined classics that feature seasonal, locally sourced ingredients for a succession of bold local flavours. Each dish is paired with wines from Lanzerac’s Jonkershoek, Keldermeester Versameling and Heritage ranges.

After a welcome glass of cap classique and canapés on arrival, segue into Saldanha Bay oysters with tomato, basil, chorizo and caviar followed by beetroot and goat’s cheese with charred orange. A salmon and tuna mosaic with carrot, orange and coconut completes the succession of starters. A palate cleanser then leads into a honey-glazed pork belly, followed by a saddle of lamb with rosemary duchess potatoes. And a finale of a tropical delight of meringue, passion fruit, coconut and mango. Each course is perfectly paired with Lanzerac wines.

If this sounds like your kind of gastronomic adventure, enter our competition below and you and your plus one could win a seven-course wine-paired dining experience at Lanzerac’s Manor Kitchen.

Lanzerac always brings back the most wonderful memories to me of the days I spent at Stellenbosch University and how often we went for meals and Saturday cheese lunches. It literally brings tears of joy to my eyes, so would love to be spoilt with the Gastronomic Extravaganza. Hopefully I could be the winner, but whoever is the lucky one, enjoy the thrill, stay for the night and go for a spa the next day!
