Spring in the Helderberg Winelands calls for a little sunshine, a good glass of wine and, naturally, something delicious to eat. Cavalli Estate has all three in mind with an Oyster and Wine Pairing that gives the classic oyster experience a rather interesting twist.
For R320 per person, guests can enjoy four oysters, each matched with a different Cavalli wine.
The pairings move from fresh, botanical flavours to fruity citrus notes and richer combinations, creating a tasting experience that is as much about discovering unexpected matches as it is about enjoying a few oysters.
Set against the Winelands backdrop at Cavalli Estate in Somerset West, it makes an appealing spring outing for those looking to enjoy the season at a slower pace. The combination of sunshine, vineyard scenery and carefully matched wine and seafood is a good excuse to make a little time for the Helderberg.
The experience features four distinct oyster and wine combinations, each designed to bring out different flavours.
- Fynbos Mignonette with Reserve White: A fresh, botanical-inspired pairing.
- Litchi and Cucumber with Reserve Chenin Blanc: A fruity and refreshing combination.
- Nectarine and Verjuice Mignonette with Rosé: A lively pairing with a touch of fruit.
- Pineapple and Citrus with Chardonnay: A bright, zesty finish to the selection.
The pairing costs R320 per person and is available from Wednesday to Sunday between 11:00 and 15:00. It is offered on a first-come, first-served basis. For guests who would like to explore more of Cavalli’s wines, the estate also offers a Discovery Tasting of three wines for R125 and an Estate Tasting of six wines for R195. Those looking for something to accompany their tasting can also opt for a Cheese Board at R350 or a Cheese and Cold Meat Board at R470.
With four oysters, four wines and plenty of interesting flavour combinations, the pairing offers a lovely way to enjoy Cavalli Estate beyond the usual wine tasting. It is a spring outing with a little more character, and a good reason to take the scenic route to Somerset West.
