Durbanville’s midweek dinner plans are getting a rather polished upgrade as Wilde Vy Bistro teams up with Mellish Family Vineyards for a four-course food and wine pairing on Wednesday, 2 September 2026.
Hosted at Wilde Vy Bistro at Signal Gun Wines, the evening begins at 19:00 and brings four Mellish wines together with a menu that moves from fresh seafood through mushrooms and ostrich to a slow-braised beef finale.
At R695 per guest, each course is paired with its own wine, giving diners a chance to explore the Mellish Family Vineyards range at the table rather than one glass at a time.
- The first pairing brings Mellish Chenin 2025 together with Peru-style kabeljou ceviche, setting things off on a lighter, fresher note. Next comes the Mellish Blanc Fumé 2023, paired with an assorted mushroom vol au vent served with whipped goat’s cheese and asparagus. It is followed by Mellish Pinotage 2024 alongside three-colour ostrich fillet with piperade, potato pavé, sour cherry sauce and Parma ham. The fourth course brings the evening firmly into comfort-food territory. Mellish Syrah 2022 is matched with slow-braised short rib of beef, spring green risotto, bone marrow and braised juices.
For Durbanville wine lovers, it is a neat excuse to make Wednesday feel considerably more like the weekend. The evening takes place at Wilde Vy Bistro, Signal Gun Wines on Hooggelegen Farm in Durbanville with reservations available on +27 64 643 9766.
