Date Night Special: 3 Courses, 5 Wines and Fairview Cheese at Harringtons Cocktail Lounge

There is something special about slowing down in the middle of the week, especially when excellent wine, handcrafted cheese and thoughtfully prepared food all come together at one table.

That’s exactly the idea behind Wine & Dine Wednesday at Harringtons Cocktail Lounge, where every Wednesday evening is dedicated to relaxed dining and expertly paired flavours.

Priced at R375 per person, the experience includes a three course dinner paired with five carefully selected Fairview wines, each chosen to complement a menu that also showcases the renowned Fairview cheeses.

  • Guests can begin with a choice of Mushroom Arancini served with Fairview Brie and garlic aioli, or a comforting French Onion Soup accompanied by a Fairview Brie breadstick.
  • For the main course, diners can choose between a hearty Winter Vegetable Pasta featuring roasted butternut, carrots, chickpeas, kale and Fairview Salada Blanc feta, a beautifully prepared Seared Linefish with puttanesca style salad and Fairview Salada Blanc feta, or a Flame Grilled Sirloin served with Fairview Blue Rock sauce, seasonal greens and fries.
  • Dessert rounds off the evening with a vibrant Roasted Citrus Tart, combining roasted orange, grapefruit and lemon with whipped Fairview cream cheese, vanilla and honey crème for a bright and satisfying finish.

Each course is paired with a curated tasting that includes Charles Back Fairview Brut, Coastal Chenin, Grenache Blanc, Grenache Noir and Malbec, allowing guests to experience how each wine enhances the flavours on the plate. Those who discover a favourite can also order additional glasses or bottles during the evening.

Designed for relaxed date nights, long overdue catch-ups with friends or simply an enjoyable midweek outing, Wine & Dine Wednesday offers more than just dinner. Every few months, Harringtons welcomes a new wine estate, introducing a completely refreshed menu and fresh pairings, ensuring every season brings a new dining experience to discover.

With carefully matched wines, celebrated Fairview cheeses and a menu designed around seasonal comfort, Harringtons Cocktail Lounge has created a Wednesday tradition that wine lovers will happily return to again and again.
