The Table Bay has long prided itself on delivering an authentic South African experience, achieved with its passionate focus on locally found products.
Our partners share our passion for paying homage to the richness, uniqueness and sense of heritage that comes with using locally sourced ingredients. We worked closely with each of them to create truly authentic beverages that reflect The Table Bay’s personality and remain true to our South African roots. – Marc Weber, F&B manager at the Table Bay Hotel
The Table Bay’s signature house wines, The Captain’s Table, are amongst the earliest testimonies to the hotel’s emphasis on delivering an authentically South African experience. Launched in 2011, The Captain’s Table was personally produced by Cape wine maker, Rikus Neethling of Bizoe Wines. The easy drinking Captains Table red and white wines were created to be enjoyed with any meal or on their own.
The Captain’s Table white wine is fresh, somewhat tropical with soft acidity and of freshly cut grass and asparagus. The red wine was sourced from carefully selected sites within the Western Cape to produce a red wine that is soft and embraced with ripe dark fruit, lifted by gentle warm spices
In the spring of 2016, The Table Bay introduced another discerning and distinctive drinking experience in the form of its own signature Methode Cap Classique (MCC), created by the respected Graeme Beck estate. The wine retains its complexity, with added fruit on the palate, while finishing smoothly.
In the summer of 2016 came the introduction of an exclusive craft beer produced in collaboration with Darling Brewery. This milestone made The Table Bay one of the first South African hotels to brew its own craft beer. The beer is an aromatic Krystal Weiss Beer, brewed with Western Cape culture and climate specifically in mind.
Krystal Weiss Beer is a fresh, invigorating and thirst quenching wheat ale with a lower alcohol volume than a typical Hefeweizen. It is perfectly suited for South African days and nights, pairing exceptionally well with fish, shellfish dishes, cheeses and fruit. The Table Bay’s Krystal Weiss Beer boasts a delightful aromatic twist of lemon and grapefruit flavours, and is slightly more bitter than an Amber Weiss with a dry finish. – The Table Bay’s Assistant Food and Beverage Manager Charl Theron.
According to Theron, the market for craft beer in South Africa has exploded in recent years, with people keen to explore more diverse, natural varieties of beer.
