Savour the quintessential pairing at Stellenbosch Hills

Savour the quintessential pairing at Stellenbosch Hills

Prepare to be brie enchanted by ridiculously good wine & cheese combos

May until October 2022

The fun returns to Stellenbosch Hills this month with a delicious opportunity to savour two ageless companions. The popular Stellenbosch Hills Wine & Cheese Pairing is a chance to gather up friends and family for a light-hearted and tasty excursion to the heart of South African wine country.

Over the years, its Wine & Cheese Pairing has become a popular activity and this year promises to be the same, with the tastings launched this month and running until October.

The four wines and highly-rated artisan cheeses from Stanford-based producer, Stonehouse on offer in the tasting room are:

• Stellenbosch Hills’ award-winning Sauvignon Blanc whose lively acidity and burst of fruit marry with the semi-soft cheese’s garlic-and-chives seasoning;
• The winery’s bold Shiraz, with its spice and dark berry traits, that meets a semi-soft cheese with Cajun character;
• A glass of Cabernet Sauvignon – the most awarded variety for the Stellenbosch region, which is elevated even further by the Italian herbs that flavour the semi-soft cheese served alongside it; and,
• The winery’s own Muscat de Hambourg, a magnificent dessert wine that is not only the perfect round-off to any dinner, but also to this series where it is served with a creamy Camembert.

The winery has a long and proud history of producing an excellent portfolio, from serious collectors’ items to the Polkadraai everyday range of good-humoured wines. It has made a speciality of pairing experiences which include such innovations as wine with biltong and even popcorn.

The Stellenbosch Hills Wine & Cheese Pairing is just R95 per person and must be booked ahead of your visit. Kindly email info@stbhills.co.za or call 021 881 3828 to reserve a spot.

The Stellenbosch Hills tasting room is open Monday to Friday, 09h00 to 17h00; and Saturday, 10h00 to 15h00. It is closed on public holidays.

The Stellenbosch Hills winery and tasting room is located at the intersection of the R310 and Vlottenburg Road, just outside Stellenbosch.
