Christmas Eve is one of those rare moments that deserves slowing down.
The rush is mostly over, the excitement is building, and the table is where everyone naturally gathers.
This year, Clos Malverne Wine Estate offers a beautifully curated way to ease into the festive season with a four-course food and wine pairing designed to celebrate flavour, togetherness and fine Cape hospitality.
- Set against the backdrop of rolling vineyards and glowing cellar lights, the Christmas Eve experience at Clos Malverne is intimate, elegant and quietly indulgent. Each course is thoughtfully crafted by the estate’s chef and paired with award-winning wines selected by the cellar team, creating a seamless conversation between plate and glass.
Guests can expect festive flavours that feel elevated yet comforting, with each pairing enhancing the dish without stealing the spotlight. It’s the kind of dining experience where the wine tells part of the story, the food finishes the sentence, and the atmosphere ties it all together.
What truly sets the evening apart is the setting. Clos Malverne’s vineyard estate provides a calm, picturesque escape just as the festive pace peaks elsewhere. Long tables, warm lighting and attentive service create an environment that feels celebratory without being formal, perfect for families, friends or couples looking to mark Christmas Eve with intention.
Starting at 6pm on 24 December 2025, this four-course pairing dinner invites guests to savour the moment, linger a little longer and begin Christmas on a high note. At R1200 per person, the experience offers exceptional value for a curated evening of fine food, thoughtfully matched wines and memorable surroundings.
For those who believe Christmas Eve should feel special rather than rushed, Clos Malverne delivers an experience that balances elegance with warmth, making it a festive tradition in the making. Bookings are essential for this sought-after evening.
