Lanzerac: Botanical Lunch + Tea for Garden Town Stellenbosch

The long avenue leading to Lanzerac inspires a scenic leafy mood before you even reach the wine estate and hotel, set among hectares of gardens and vineyards. The third-oldest farm in Stellenbosch (founded in 1692, just a decade after the town itself), Lanzerac, with its historic manor house and werf, is a suitably verdant setting to enjoy two special events hosted for Garden Town Stellenbosch (a 10-day festival of all things gardens). Settle in for a botanical tea or a garden-to-table lunch at this landmark destination in the idyllic Jonkershoek Valley, backed by dramatic mountains, venerable oak trees and lush vines.

A botanical afternoon tea

After exploring the open gardens and the botanical showcase at the Town Hall, some garden-themed deliciousness is just the thing to while away the rest of the afternoon. The Manor Kitchen is taking inspiration from the festival for its decadent afternoon tea, with savoury and sweet delights paired with floral, spice and stonefruit teas. Enjoy a botanical-inspired Six Dogs Gin cocktail or celebrate with bottomless Lanzerac Cap Classique.

A garden-to-table Sunday lunch

Sunday lunches at Manor Kitchen are always inspired by what’s in season in the vegetable garden. For the Garden Town celebration there’s even more focus on garden-to-table seasonality with an array of timeless classics to savour over a four-course feast. And a welcome cocktail in collaboration with Six Dogs Gin takes on a botanical theme too.
