Wine, dinner and dégustation… Warming up winter in the Constantia Valley.
This winter, The Cellars-Hohenort is celebrating the wonderful wine farms of the Constantia Wine Route with a series of lavish wine-paired dinners featuring participating estates this winter. Settle into the delightfully elegant Greenhouse venue overlooking the magnificent gardens of the hotel, for the final evening of the series: excellent food and fabulous wine, as the winemakers present the best of the best from their cellars.
South Africa’s oldest producing wine estate, Groot Constantia takes centre stage at the final episode of these culinary extravaganzas, as a selection of the estate’s prime wines is presented alongside a menu designed to showcase them in style.
