Middelvlei Boerebraai
 
Join the Momberg family of Middelvlei every Friday, Saturday and Sunday lunch and be part of a very special, authentic South African outdoor cuisine experience.
 
An integrate part of South African culture is to cook outdoors. Having a braai or making potjie has evolved into an unique South African social event with family and friends gathering together to share good stories and a glass, or bottle, of wine depending on the required cooking time, creating a memorable experience.

 
Join in the fun at Middelvlei and braai your own meat and boerewors. Our resident braai expert will be available for advice or to do the braaiing on your behalf.
 
Enjoy a selection of traditional dishes with your meat such as pampoenkoekies, roosterkoek, braaibroodjies and pap and sous. A special treat from grandma’s pantry: milktart, koeksisters and malva pudding, to name but a few, will be the perfect finishing touch to your meal.
 
Delicious, slow-cooked potjiekos will be served on most days.
 
All of these wonderful dishes to be enjoyed with Middelvlei’s award-winning wines – a true wine lover’s delight!
 
While mom and dad are having a good time, the kids can also have fun, enjoying the spacious outdoors, feeding the farm animals or going on a donkey cart ride. They can also join in the food fun and enjoy the special kiddies’ snack box and even braai their own stokbrood.
 
The Momberg family looks forward to welcoming you at this special outdoor Boerebraai!

Hartenberg offers unique artisanal charcuterie, olive & wine tasting
 
Artisanal charcuterie and olives meet classically crafted wines in a unique taste experience at Hartenberg Wine Estate, one of South Africa’s leading and oldest producers of Shiraz on Bottelary Road in the Stellenbosch Winelands.
 
Known for their warm hospitality, the Hartenberg tasting room team are the first to collaborate with the very best makers of bespoke charcuterie and olives to offer visitors a singular wine tasting experience at their homely tasting room.
 

Priced at R60 or R100 depending on the choice of wines, these bespoke pairings bring together the expertise of Hartenberg Cellarmaster Carl Schultz, charcuterie artisan Steve Jeffrey and Chrisna Pepler who works her magic with locally grown olives. Both are regulars at Cape Town’s famous Biscuit Mill Market.
 
Charcuterie refers to the age old French craft of sausage making and curing, seasoning and smoking meat which is served traditionally with wine or aperitifs. Steve’s charcuterie, a selection of superbly cured Spanish, Italian and French style sausages and cured meats, can be found exclusively at Hartenberg and select farmer’s markets and delicatessens. Chrisna has been making delicious herbed, smoked, roasted and citrus infused olives and tapenades near Stellenbosch since 1993.
 
“We are very fortunate to be able to offer visitors these wonderful artisanal products with our wines and have discovered some exceptional and sometimes rather unexpected pairings,” says Heleen Rabe, director in charge of marketing at Hartenberg.
 
Hartenberg Sauvignon Blanc is a wonderful companion to Chrisna’s green olives infused with citrus and lemon grass and just loves the milder Alsace air dried sausage, which enhance the gooseberry flavour and richness of the wine. Hartenberg Chardonnay with its zesty lemon and honey flavours seems to prefer its sausages a littler hotter such a soujouk and chorizo, whilst the smoked olive tapenade is a definite hit. Hartenberg’s Riesling and Pinotage on the other hand really love spicy foods and are among the few wines that can stand up to Steve’s extra hot Italian sausage. Roasted rosemary olives and the Moroccan sumac spiced sausage best bring out the berries of the Hartenberg Merlot. The Hartenberg Estate Shiraz loves all things smoked and goes down sublimely with smoked olives and pancetta.
 
The charcuterie and olives are presented lovingly on wooden boards made from used oak wine barrels and can be bought at the tasting room to be enjoyed at home with Hartenberg wines of course!
 
Whether you opt for the R60 tasting or for the more substantial R100 indulgence, ideal as a late afternoon, after work sojourn on the estate, this is a winelands taste experience not to be missed.
 
The charcuterie and olive wine tastings are available Mondays to Saturdays and seven days a week from December. For bookings, call Tel: (+27) 21-8652541, Email info@hartenbergestate.com or visit www.hartenbergestate.com. Hartenberg Estate is situated on the Bottelary Road off the R304 to Stellenbosch.
  

 
The word "tapas" is derived from the Spanish verb tapar, "to cover".

According to legend, the tapas tradition began when king Alfonso X of Castile recovered from an illness by drinking wine with small dishes between meals. After regaining his health, the king ordered that taverns would not be allowed to serve wine to customers unless it was accompanied by a small snack or "tapa."

Bellow is a small example of the delectable dishes that will be available.

Local producers will be supplying chef Logan Coath with only the best and freshest produce and ingredients to ensure an ever changing menu. From forest picked mushrooms and organic vegetables to locally caught seafood and the best local hams.

Come and join us in front of our cosy fireplace for a glass of our award winning Cabernet Sauvignon and sample some of the best produce the winelands has to offer.
