The Manor Restaurant at Nederburg

Come to The Manor restaurant at Nederburg in Paarl, and be enticed by fragrances of cinnamon, star anise, cardamom, fresh ginger, rooibos, buchu and roasted nuts. Or wafts of real classics like home-baked bread just out of the oven, toasted coriander seed, ripe tomato, basil, caramelised onion, pickled vegetables, and chips on the fry. In other words, an inviting amalgam of Eastern, Mediterranean, and local aromas to suit a whole lot of palates.

To enter the tranquillity of the thatched-roofed, white-washed, H-shaped manor house, dating to 1800, is to experience a distillation of life lived over 200 years ago. Yet, the tastes on offer are contemporary, devised to complement Nederburg’s extensive range of award-winning wines.

Generous picnics for relaxed enjoyment in the sprawling garden are on offer, as are delicious breakfasts, lunches and mouth-watering cheese and charcuterie platters. Many à la carte menu items are imaginative updates on long-time favourites.

The gorgeous bar serves up award-winning wines, innovative cocktails (including non-alcoholic options), as well as delicious coffees.

Various wine tasting options are available to help you discover Nederburg’s fine wines. The Manor Tasting includes five wines (the selection changes weekly), the Seriously Cheesy pairing comprises five wines paired with five artisanal cheeses, and The Brew Tasting offers you the chance to enjoy various coffee blends with different wines. Then there’s the popular Five Senses Wine & Food Experience, devised to indulge your senses and challenge your perception of flavour. 

The Manor’s team understands that children need fun activities of their own when their parents visit for wine-tasting. So apart from the milk and cookie pairings, they offer cupcake decoration workshops, picnic boxes with a delicious collection of snacks you’d be happy to see them eating and drinking. And for birthday parties for six or more, they offer party surprise boxes plus a cupcake decoration workshop. There’s also Jenga and a range of lawn games, jungle gyms and a zip-line, tree house, swings and more.
