This was our third visit to Hazendal Wine Estate and just like the previous experiences this one exceeded our expectations.
We were meant to review the Food and Beer pairing but as per usual couldn’t resist taking in the other spoils this amazing venue has to offer.
From a walk in the Heritage Garden, with its oversized garden tools, to the various culinary experienced they have on offer, there is something for everyone:
And uniquely curated experiences as well:
FOOD & BEER PAIRING
1st Pairing
Devils Peak Lager
Mini Baguette with bratwurst and pickles
2nd Pairing
Devils Peak First Light
For de latte, anchovy and sun-dried tomato pizza
3rd Pairing
Stellenbosch Brewing Co Born Free Pale Ale
Lamb Rib with Sticky BBQ glaze
4th Pairing
Darling Brew Black Mist
Chocolate Mocha Brownie
Favourite pairing for a non-beer drinker was the 4th pairing, by far my favourite was the Mini Baguette with Bratwurst and pickles!
From a beer drinker point all were his favourite, so there you have it, go, and decide for yourself. 😊
