As a proud dog-friendly destination, Erinvale Estate Hotel & Spa ensures that even four-legged family members can join in the festive celebrations. Surrounded by iconic wine estates and offering a myriad of leisure activities, this destination-stay promises an unforgettable escape.

Dining takes centre stage this festive season with menus crafted to capture the essence of festive flavours.

On Christmas Day, guests are treated to a lavish buffet lunch, starting with charcuterie selections and an array of cold creations. The main course features timeless favourites, including roasted turkey with stung and cranberry sauce, succulent gammon, grilled ribeye steak with pepper sauce, and herb-crusted salmon with dill sauce. These dishes are perfectly paired with delicious sides like roasted baby potatoes, a creamy cauliflower and cheese bake, and sautéed seasonal vegetables. To conclude the feast, a selection of classic desserts—spiced mince pies, Christmas bread and butter pudding, baked cheesecakes, and South Africa’s beloved malva pudding with vanilla custard—offer a sweet finale. As guests indulge, the ambiance is further elevated by the passionate melodies of Karel Landman on violin, adding an elegant touch to the lunch
experience.

In addition to the themed menus, hotel guests and day visitors can enjoy the ultimate in summer dining with three distinct, yet equally exceptional, on-site restaurant options. From the intimate fine dining experience at Stefans, where Executive Chef Stefan Bekker expertly crafts a refined Table d’hôte Menu, to the laid-back charm of Oak Terrace, ideal for al fresco lunches under the oaks or romantic dinners beneath the stars. For those craving a vibrant, social atmosphere, Magnolia Social Dining Lounge offers an array of tantalising cocktails and sharing plates, creating the perfect setting for gathering with friends and family.

As the countdown to 2025 begins, the stage is set for an unforgettable New Year’s Eve celebration, right in the midst of the spectacular Cape Winelands.

Guests can savour exquisite dishes such as seared scallops, grilled duck pancakes, and wild mushroom ragout on a Chef’s Platter for two, complemented by elegant canapés and a midnight harvest table. The lively atmosphere will be brought to life by the soulful saxophone and energizing djembe rhythms of ‘Man With The Music’, whose dynamic multi-instrumental performance will keep feet tapping and spirits high. With glasses constantly topped up, it’s the perfect way to ring in the new year in style.
