There’s no excuse for not relishing this lunchtime treat! Eikendal is hosting their Winter Pizza & Wine Pairing every week, from Tuesday to Sunday, from noon to 4pm, until the end of June. For just R50 a head, diners will tuck into a trio of thin-crusted mini-pizzas, topped with a great range of piquant flavours, and paired with the perfect estate wine to please the palate.

Along with the freshly-baked pizzas, children are catered for with cookIes and milk for R30.

The tasting room makes the venue, and the menu includes a Mexicana (Mince, chilli and peppers), accompanied with shiraz, the ham, olive and mushroom partnered with their 2014 pinotage and their fillet and avo served with the 2013 cabernet sauvignon.
