News from The Bistro at Brookdale Estate is that Executive Chef Gary Coetzee and his team are back after their winter break, offering their popular Thursday Fire & Wine evenings once again.

Diners will find Chef Gary in his favourite spot behind the grill, while they sip a glass of wine and cosy up next to the central fireplace. The theme changes weekly, with dishes ranging from burgers & chips, to steaks, prawns and more, and a range of side dishes that may be added and billed as optional extras. Only the freshest ingredients are used, including produce sourced locally to provide a conscious balance of choice for meat lovers and vegetarians alike.

The relaxed mid-week dining experience centres around a delicious, uncomplicated grilled dish that is paired with a complimentary glass of wine from the Mason Road range. This includes a Shiraz, the GSM red blend of Grenache, Syrah, Cinsault and Petit Syrah, as well as a Chenin Blanc and the Serendipity Rosé.

For those wanting to make a night of it out in the Paarl Winelands, luxury accommodation is available in the Manor House on the estate. Brookdale is offering its Hibernation bed and breakfast rate of R7000 per room per night until 30 September 2024, and on Thursday nights, will include the Fire & Dine dinner at the Bistro on a complimentary basis. (Subject to availability and excluding extras, additional drinks and service)

The Bistro is open for lunch from Wednesdays to Sundays and serves dinner on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings. Adjacent to The Bistro, the Tasting Room is open daily from 11:00 to 17:00 (closed on Mondays and Tuesdays), offering visitors the opportunity to taste wines grown on the estate, vinified by winemaker, Kiara Scott Farmer.
