Delheim is set to welcome visitors for lunch again on Thursday, 12 November, after being forced by lockdown into months of temporary closure.
The estate now looks forward to sharing its refreshed Cellar Door Experience, its slogan – Worth The Journey – echoing in this unveiling, in time for the summer season.
As a pioneer of wine routes in South Africa, Delheim has been a beloved wine destination for decades. The farm’s lush and elevated setting is poised to be enjoyed once again with the focus returned to its exceptional wines. There are now two different types of wine tastings available – the Premium Tasting and the Reserve Tasting.
Wine tastings on the property can be enjoyed outside on the garden patio from where Table Mountain can be seen; or in the cool Downstairs Cellar.
Alongside great wine, Delheim also offers a limited Blackboard Lunch Menu, featuring old classics and new dishes that will change on a regular basis. Alternatively, order a cheese and meat platter with your wine tasting.
As a wine tourism leader, Delheim was the first estate to serve cheese platters and the first South African wine farm to have a restaurant – something today’s visitors to the Cape Winelands take for granted.
Also making a comeback after Delheim’s Covid hiatus is summer’s sweet note – the Wine & Fynbos Cupcake Pairing.
The costs of the experiences are:
- Premium wine tasting, where visitors can taste five of 10 wines from the range – R85pp;
- Reserve wine tasting, which includes the Vera Cruz Pinotage, Chardonnay Sur Lie, Edelspatz, Grand Reserve and the exclusive Iconoclast Cape Blend – R150;
- Wine & Fynbos Cupcake pairing – R150pp. On offer Thursday to Monday at 11:00 only;
- Cheese and meat platter for two to share – R280. Available Monday to Sunday, 09:30 to 16:30.
Please note the trading times: Monday to Friday for wine sales (online sales 7 days a week); Monday to Sunday for wine tastings and cheese and meat platters, whilst lunches and the Wine & Fynbos Cupcake Pairing are on offer Thursday to Monday.
Visitors are encouraged to pre-book their experiences on the Dineplan platform on the Delheim website, to ensure a safe and hassle-free Winelands sojourn. Dedicated safety rules have been instituted and Delheim adheres to all Covid-19 protocols, keeping staff and guests’ health and safety a top priority.
Delheim wines are available from leading retailers and restaurants as well as the winery’s online shop at https://www.delheim.com/shop-online/.
