If the cooler weather has you reaching for a blanket and a bottle of something bold, then The Sanctuary Restaurant has just the cure.
A Wine & Dine evening that promises big flavours, warm company, and five stunning wines from Van Loveren—all paired with four indulgent courses crafted for comfort.
Set at the foot of Table Mountain, this is where cosy meets classy, with a night designed to make you fall in love with flavour all over again.
- 🍾 The evening begins with a glass of Van Loveren Chardonnay Pinot Noir Sparkling Brut, crisp and fruity, as you ease into your seat and prepare your taste buds for the magic to follow.
- 🥓 First up, an amuse bouche that’s got everyone talking: stuffed dates with bacon, almond, and blue cheese, served alongside Van Loveren’s Daydream Chardonnay Pinot Noir—a soft, floral wine that’s basically a warm hug in a glass.
- 🧀 For starters, it’s your choice between a spicy lentil soup or oozy baked camembert with fig preserve and candied walnuts, paired with their unoaked Calcrete Chardonnay—crisp, clean, and a delicious contrast to the rich flavours.
- 🍷 The main event stars the award-winning Vine-By-Pole Pinot Noir. It’s silky, spiced, and bursting with red cherry notes—just right for either a slow-cooked lamb shank with creamy mash, or a velvety Lagusta linguine with forest mushrooms and truffle oil. Either way, you win.
- 🍰 To close the evening, a sweet finale: your pick between baked cheesecake or warm malva pudding, served with vanilla ice cream and a glass of Gewürztraminer—rose petal, apricot, and enough charm to linger long after dessert.
This isn’t just dinner—it’s an edible love letter to Cape Town winter. Whether you’re a wine connoisseur, a foodie, or just someone looking to warm up from the inside out, this is your night.
