On Saturday, 18 April 2026, we invite you to step into a realm where the boundaries of taste and perception blur. This is not a standard wine tasting; it is a curated exploration into the world of the "Sixth Sense"- that intuitive connection between memory, emotion, and flavour. 

To maintain the intimacy of this journey, we have strictly limited the guest list to 20 guests to ensure a focused, personal experience.

• Time: 10:30 for 11:00
• Venue: Tasting Room at Benguela Cove Wine Estate (map)
• Price: R 550 per person
• Includes: A curated five-course journey and wine flight, hosted in a sensory setting. 

Enjoy a three-course dining experience with a glass of estate wine for R450 per person.

Available Monday to Thursday from 12:00 to 17:00 | Available from 1 April - 31 August 2026.

"The lunch special is an opportunity to experience the full kitchen at a price point that makes it genuinely accessible - whether you're driving down from Cape Town for the day, coming in from Hermanus, or staying on the estate."

The menu covers the range - line-caught West Coast fish, Karoo-farmed meat, vegetarian options - all complimented by picture-perfect views in a world-class setting.  

Join us for an unforgettable Mother’s Day where culinary artistry meets the tranquil elegance of the lagoon.
