You should know the drill by now because this is o You should know the drill by now because this is one of my favourite events in Cape Town… Wednesday Wine & Dine at @harringtonsct 🥂

3 courses, welcome drink & full wine tasting. Only R375 pp, every Wednesday, featuring a new wine partner every month.

This month they’ve partnered with @aabadenhorst Family Wines and the tasting includes a welcome cocktail made with their Capertif Vermouth (think Aperol, but a proudly South African take), their Secateurs Range Chenin & Red Blend, as well as their Papegaaai and The Riviera wines.

On the food side: you have a choice of two starters, for mains you have a creamy garlic, butternut & sage linguini, pan seared linefish or their flame grilled ribeye with a creamy peri-peri sauce. Then they wrap things up with baked custard pots topped with a chocolate coated honeycomb & vanilla cookie crunch.

Get there early to take advantage of happy hour specials & half price tapas (4pm to 6pm).

Bookings via bookings@harringtonstreet.co.za

Wine & Dine Wednesdays at @harringtonsct is always Wine & Dine Wednesdays at @harringtonsct is always a winning idea.🍷❤️ This month they’ve partnered with @fairviewwineandcheese , not only for a tasting of 5 beautiful wines, but also by incorporating their delicious cheeses into the menu. Think mushroom arancini with Fairview brie, grilled sirloin with Fairview blue rock sauce & a lovely roasted citrus tart made with Fairview cream cheese… Everything was so good.👌🏼👌🏼 At only R375pp this remains one of the best nights out in Cape Town. Catch them again this coming Wednesday, you won’t regret it. 😏

A space that looked pretty dire & joyless when we bought the house is now a place to relax with a glass of wine after a long day, catch up on the comings and goings of the neighbourhood & enjoy watching the cable car go up and down Table mountain.

Every Wednesday @harringtonsct hosts Wine & Dine Wednesday where for R350 you get to enjoy a delicious 3 course meal paired with a wine tasting featuring a different wine estate each month. 

It’s a great deal, a lekka evening out & one of the best ways to celebrate making it to the mid-week point.

This month they’ve partnered with @fryers_cove_vineyards, the only vineyard within the Bamboes Bay ward on the West Coast & situated only 500 meters from the Atlantic Ocean.

You’ll get to taste 5 of their wines: 

• Fryers Cove Sauvignon Blanc
• Fryers Cove Chenin Blanc
• Fryers Cove Grenache Cinsault
• Fryers Cove Pinot Noir
• Doringbay Pinot Noir Rosé

There are only two more Wednesdays left with Fryer’s Cove - 20 & 27 Aug.  So get those reservations in now. To book, contact them on 078 916 7903 or bookings@harringtonstreet.co.za
