Event information
Buitenverwachting Wine Estate is famous for its rich history, exceptional wine quality, unique terroir, beautiful scenery, and its commitment to providing an all-encompassing experience that combines excellent wines and fine dining in a captivating setting. The estate is renowned for producing high-quality wines, particularly its Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon. These wines consistently receive critical acclaim and have earned a strong reputation in the wine industry.
Tastings are guided by the friendly and knowledgeable tasting room staff. The boutique wine experience is a selection of five wines for only R100pp. Guests have been known to include the Maximus and the G limited release wines. Also you can’t go wrong with the Hussey’s Vlei, an elegant Sauvignon Blanc that is certainly a Buitenverwachting favourite. If you are looking for something to eat with your wine, you are welcome to try one of the delicious varieties of charcuterie platters that are all homemade by the Buitenverwachting kitchen staff.
Buitenverwachting has one of the most beautiful picnic settings in Cape Town and is worth a visit. Platters on the lawn work on a first come first served basis, so be sure to arrive early to avoid disappointment. Savour your selection with only the best quality charcuterie, cheeses, bread, tapenades, jams, and other deliciousness. A long time favourite is the homemade feta, olive & sundried tomato tapenade while all the pâtés and tapenades are homemade by the kitchen staff. It truly is the perfect place to come and spend quality time with your family and friends.
The restaurant is situated in the original thatch and whitewashed Cape Dutch building forming part of the historic Buitenverwachting Wine Estate. Beyond Restaurant believes in sourcing locally, the restaurant underscores its commitment to supporting smaller growers, farmers and producers who form part of a sustainable supplier ecosystem.
Peter Tempelhoff’s enduring food philosophy is one that centers on provenance – a philosophy that ensures that the concept never eclipses the importance of the ingredients. At Beyond, special attention has been paid to sourcing a diverse range of special raw produce.
From rare-breed meats, and seasonal heirloom vegetables to artisanally crafted cheeses, this diversity serves to showcase and celebrate the ‘weird and wonderful’ and the beauty of unique strains and flavours beyond mass production.
