Many South African wineries have elevated their tasting experiences by developing unique, multi-course wine and food pairings.

The return of patio weather almost always signals an intense urge to sit outside slurping oysters on the half-shell accompanied with a glass of wine. Here are some succulent oyster and wine pairings in the Cape Winelands that you don’t want to miss out on.

Benguela Cove

Benguela Cove continues to raise the bar for wine country hospitality with its Wine & Oyster pairing, which includes four oysters prepared in four different ways to match the intrinsic qualities of four different wines in the estate’s wine range.

Org de Rac

Take a seat outside and drink in the sweeping views over the Swartland as you sip on a glass of Org de Rac Cuvée La Verne Method Cap Classique Blanc de Blanc Brut and indulge in a few cold-water Saldanha oysters.

Boschendal

Tiny bubbles floating to the top of glasses filled with Boschendal Methode Cap Classique… Few things pair better with oyster than sparkling wine. Try the combination yourself with four oysters and accompanying bubbles at the daily pairing.

Grande Provence

The MCC & Oysters 3-Ways Tasting is available daily from 12h00 till 17h00. The oysters are shucked directly from the Grande Provence oyster tank and garnished freshly for your tasting at the oyster bar in the garden.
