At Benguela Cove, Easter isn’t just a holiday—it’s a full-on flavour celebration.
And this year, they’re taking a beloved classic and turning it into something truly unexpected: the Gourmet Easter Hot Cross Bun and Wine Pairing.
Yes, you read that right. Forget the humble bun you pick up at the grocery store. This one is dressed to impress.
- Picture this: warm spices, soft dough, and then—bam!—a burst of lemon milk brightness, the juiciness of mixed berries, and the rich, decadent swirl of hot chocolate. Now pair each layer with a carefully selected wine from Benguela Cove’s award-winning cellar. The result? A pairing that’s equal parts comforting and surprising. It’s Easter, elevated.
Available every day in April (yes, every day), this tasting experience invites guests to slow down and savour. At R250 per person, it’s a sensory treat worth booking ahead for—and yes, bookings are open right here.
But wait, there’s more. Benguela Cove knows that one good pairing deserves another, which is why they’re launching a monthly themed pairing program. Join the loyalty journey, collect your stamps, and after 12 tastings, unlock a special gift. It’s basically a grown-up sticker chart with delicious rewards.
