A New Year’s Eve To Remember: Grub & Vine, Culture Wine Bar + The Blue Room

Matt Manning’s Bree Street four-in-one emporium is always a winner for fab food, great wine and memorable music. And this New Year’s Eve, Grub & Vine will be celebrating with a tasting menu extravaganza, while Culture Wine Bar is popping the corks for a Champagne Supernova party, and the Blue Room takes you into the New Year on a musical high. And at Grub & Vine Norval you can end the year in style with a 6-course extravaganza at both lunch and dinner. Cheers to 2025!

New Year’s Eve Dinner at Grub & Vine Bree

You can be sure that Matt Manning and team will be pulling out all the stops for a spectacular six-course dinner at Grub & Vine, heroing the freshest seasonal produce and some extra special ingredients for a lavish celebration. Expert wine-pairing dexterity has always been the (not so) secret ingredient of the Grub & Vine appeal and this menu is no exception. Matt and head sommelier Victor Kene Okolo have put together a choice of three wine-pairing options (or choose from the award-winning wine list).
After a leisurely and delicious dinner, move through to Culture Wine Bar next door and join the Champagne Supernova party to dance the night away.
Good to know Three wine-pairing options are available at an additional cost.

New Year’s Eve Lunch and Dinner at Grub & Vine Norval

The Norval bistro is also celebrating in style on New Year’s Eve. And they’ve got everyone covered with a choice of lunch or dinner, so that you can soak up the stunning views (and perhaps stroll in the sculpture garden) with lunch. Or watch the glow of sunset turning the mountains to pink and gold through dinner. A choice of three wine-pairing options (Local Legends, International Icons, or the South Africa vs The World pairing where you taste both) add a vin-tastic extra dimension to the meal.

But before that you’ll be relaxing into the cool ambience of the New York lounge-style jazz bar with a welcome bubbly and oysters, followed by a four-course dinner, as the music plays in the end of the old year and celebrates the start of the new one.
