At R50 per person, visitors can sip on a refreshing red-wine-infused cocktail and snack on a selection of freshly-baked breads served with pesto, extra virgin olive oil and pâtés while watching the sun set over the vineyards and surrounding mountains.

These sundowners are served from 17:00 to 19:00 every Wednesday until the end of February 2012. Booking is essential. Contact Monika Jordaan on 021 881 3884 or mojordaan@distell.co.za for bookings and further information. Tastings of three red wines or port at R10 per person are also on offer.
