Escape the daily humdrum of life in the fast lane for an enchanting food and wine experience in a time-honoured cellar under the ground and make your way to the Bottelary Hills Wine Route on the outskirts of Stellenbosch when Hartenberg Estate plays host to the route’s seasonal ‘Pop Up’ Winemakers Lunch on Sunday, 25 August. Celebrating winter with a warm cosy setting in the underground maturation cellar guests can look forward to an exciting bistro style four- course feast where a selection of finest wines from this award-winning winegrowing area is paired with the fabulous food.

“Our Bottelary Hills Winemaker Lunches are extremely popular due to their jovial yet intimate nature. It is then when the local winemakers trade in their cellar tricks and wine politics for a laidback lunch with like minded wine and food lovers. It is the perfect end to your weekend and just the right fix if you suffer from Urban Horriblis!” shares Annareth Bolton, CEO of the Stellenbosch American ExpressR Wine Routes.
