🍷 Vine & View III Menu Reveal 🍷
23–24 May at Ardmore Guest Farm
This year’s Vine & View menu is built around everything we love about a weekend in the Drakensberg: good wine, generous food, mountain air, and long tables filled with people enjoying themselves.
We start on Friday, 23 May with a proper Ardmore braai — lamb chops, boerewors, chicken kebabs, pork ribs, fresh salads, grilled corn, phuthu & sheba, garlic bread rolls, vegetable quiche, and a few special extras like pastrami bruschetta with horseradish and rosemary.
For dessert: malva pudding with vanilla custard or ice cream, plus fruit salad for something lighter.
On Saturday, 24 May, lunch will be relaxed bush-style finger food, perfect for a day of wine, views, and easy conversation. Think phyllo parcels with spinach, mushroom and feta, caprese bites, mini chicken and mushroom pies, Palmieri's, pita pockets, Greek salad kebabs, and fruit skewers.
At 16:00, during the MCC tasting, we’ll serve a snack spread with cheese boards, fruit, cucumber rounds with cream cheese, biltong and Droëwors.
And then comes the Saturday night dinner — a full 5-course meal:
🍽️ Roasted pepper with lentils, chickpeas, vegetables, cheese and roasted almonds
🍤 Sizzling prawns with homemade Devil sauce and crostini
🍋 Mint and lemon sorbet
🥩 Grilled beef fillet stuffed with feta, served with nutmeg mash, Mediterranean vegetables, roasted red onions, red wine jus and butternut purée
🍮 Sticky date pudding with vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce
This is not just a wine weekend.
It is a full Drakensberg food-and-wine escape.
