Taste the best of winter in the Constantia Winelands.
This winter, The Cellars-Hohenort is celebrating the wonderful wine farms in the Constantia Wine Route with a series of wine-paired dinners featuring participating estates.
On 1 July, Beau Constantia Wine Estate takes centre stage at a culinary extravaganza in the Greenhouse Restaurant, overlooking the magnificent gardens of the hotel.
Eat, prey, sip
Executive chef Tronette Dippenaar has curated an elegant, five-course fine-dining feast that pair beautifully with the wines. High on the fynbos-filled slopes of Constantia Nek, Beau Constantia is known for producing small-batch, complex wines.
