If you’re a brandy lover you would have heard of Van Ryns Distillery out in Stellenbosch. (Plus I wrote a Van Ryns review on a dinner of theirs earlier this year.)
Looking for an Xmas pressie? If you buy a bottle of award-winning Van Ryn’s 20 Year Old 750ml for R1 225, you’ll get a leather wallet for free. I don’t have that sort of cash dollah to blow, but if you do, it is a great brandy.
A more affordable gift, is a “gift for him experience” for R249,99 through www.giftoutthebox.co.za. The offer is for two people and includes a tour of Van Ryn’s; a brandy, coffee and chocolate pairing; as well as a cheese platter for two.
Between December 15 and January 15 tours of the distillery will be offered five times per day at 10:00, 11:00, 12:00, 14:00 and 15:00, bookings to be made in advance.
For more details go to www.vanryns.co.za or call 021 881 3875.
