September brings a rather elegant excuse to slow down over tea as Vergenoegd Löw Wine Estate welcomes guests to the Spring Farm Tea at Clara’s Barn.
Set inside one of the estate’s most historic spaces, the limited series celebrates Cape flavour, heritage and hospitality through a generous multi-course farm tea experience.
The experience draws on the culinary traditions and ingredients that have helped shape the Cape, with fynbos teas including rooibos, honeybush and buchu served alongside savoury and sweet creations. The food takes inspiration from indigenous ingredients, Cape Malay heritage, European traditions and the historic trade routes that influenced Cape cuisine.
- It is also a suitably celebratory affair, with Vergenoegd Löw Cap Classique served alongside the curated tea service. Clara’s Barn provides an especially fitting setting. It is the oldest building on the estate, and the Spring Farm Tea forms part of a limited series of culinary events hosted in the historic space.
The visual spread of the experience includes tiered stands filled with savoury bites and sweet treats, alongside pastries, petit fours and beautifully presented desserts. The result is a farm tea that feels rooted in Cape culinary history while giving the traditional tea-table format a contemporary touch.
