Flame-grilled pub fare + locally crafted beers + live beats = beerfest in Stellenbosch!
Hazendal Wine Estate is a multifaceted destination, offering a string of pleasurable pursuits that appeal to visitors and locals alike. But there’s one experience you won’t find on any other wine farm in the region: a pivnushka!
The laidback pivnushka (the Russian equivalent of a beer garden) offers glorious views of the Simonsberg Mountains and Bottelary Hills and – like Hazendal’s Babushka Deli – is a unique experience. With the promise of blue skies and warmer days, there is hardly a more relaxed setting in which to enjoy a lazy lunch with family and friends.
Summer DJ Series on Sundays
This summer, from 31 October 2021 until 9 January 2022, the outdoor venue has invited a clutch of the city’s hottest DJs to add some hot beats to the beer-garden experience. With DJ NYX kicking things off, and a Roku Japanese gin or Jim Beam cocktail in hand, summer is set to sizzle. You don’t need to book ahead and entrance is free.
When Sunday, 12pm – 4pm
On the menu
The delicious menu is brimming with beer-garden favourites, from chebureki (fried pastries) and Olivier salad to flame-grilled steak, gourmet jaffles toasted over the coals and the perennial crowd-pleasing wood-fired pizzas.
And if you really want to get into the beerfest spirit, order a sausage platter or beer-glazed eisbein! There are kid-friendly plates and a wide variety of vegetarian dishes, too.
On the drinks front, you’ll be spoilt for choice with a selection of local craft beers and ciders, cocktails and mocktails, estate wines and vodka.
