Grangehurst Special Offer - Summer 2009 / 2010
Summer has finally arrived. It’s been a slow and erratic
start to summer in the Cape and we had some typical winter weather in
November – really cold and wet. Having just endured the cold, wet
November weather in the Cape I then went to Gauteng for a week and had
the same miserable, cold, wet weather there as well. Could these
unseasonal weather patterns be part of the predicted climate change?
|
 |
Now that it is almost the festive / holiday season, we’ve
got a special mixed case offer that includes a FREE 6 x
750ml Grangehurst wine cooler/carry bag.
The price of a carry bag is R160, but if you order a mixed
case of 12 bottles of wine, we will include the bag at no
cost. I have found these carry bags to be really useful for
picnics, BYO functions and when going to eat at BYO
restaurants. The bags are also very convenient if you want
to transport wine on board an aircraft when flying with up
to 6 bottles of wine in the cabin (local flights only).
|
If you would like to order the mixed case below (or your own
selection) and get a FREE carry bag, please e-mail
sales@grangehurst.co.za
or fax 021 855-2143.
3 x 750ml Grangehurst 2002 Nikela (Cabernet Sauvignon,
Pinotage, Shiraz/ Merlot)
3 x 750ml Grangehurst 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot
3 x 750ml Grangehurst 2002 Pinotage
3 x 750ml Grangehurst 2008 Cape Rosé Blend
The price including delivery in SA is R1,295 per case of 12
x 750ml including the 6-bottle carry bag..
Please note that you can make up your own selection of 12
bottles of wine if you prefer, but subject to a maximum of 3 bottles of
the Rosé.
Grangehurst 2002 Nikela R143 per 750ml
Grangehurst 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot R123 per 750ml

If you are
looking for an extraordinary gift and do not feel like giving a
bottle of wine, how about a bath filled with wine? Plunge into a
Mont Destin Wine Bath in the vineyards - it rejuvenates the skin and
the love life - no age or time restriction!!
|
R1500 inclusive
per couple – includes 2 Mont Destin Gowns to take home and an award
winning wine to share – gift vouchers available.

Polkadraai Hills Scenic Winetasting Donkey Walk
The members of the Polkadraai Hills appellation got the idea to create a
tasting with a difference: the Scenic Winetasting Donkey Walk.
|
 |
Therefore we established the Scenic Walk.
It’s a circular walk, up and down along the Hills through
the vineyards, about 3.5 km long. We start at the Bein
Cellar at 4 p.m. The two donkeys Glory and Poppy walk with
us and carry wines from our appellation, the glasses,
snacks, water, your jackets etc. in their bags. After about
1 – 1.5 hours we arrive at a scenic spot, from where we can
overlook Cape Town, Cape Point, Hang Klip, False Bay,
Stellenbosch. The view is really fantastic! |
There we relax and enjoy the wines and the
snacks. This normally lasts approx. 1 hour. Afterwards it’s a short
walk down to the cellar (approx. 10 min), where people can refresh
and buy or order the wines they tasted if they wish to do so. All
together you will spend approx 3 hours with us.
Please note: some basic fitness is required!! It is
an easy walk if you are used to walk. And not dangerous at all! The
price per person is R 85.00 for the guided walk, wine tasting and
snacks. We can accommodate a maximum of 25 people.
Please contact Ingrid 021 881 30 25 or 072 629 38 67 or
lib@beinwine.com for further info.
