Cupid meets country decadence at Gabriëlskloof Estate, when this wine and olive jewel of the Overberg transforms its popular Lunch Box experience into a Love Box of tantalising taste temptations that will turn on the charm all February long.
This love-struck spread of homemade goodness, freshly prepared by restaurant owner and chef, Frans Groenewald, promises to cast a romantic spell at this family estate with its idyllic hillside setting outside Bot River during the month of love.
Gabriëlskloof offers the perfect retreat to rekindle that spark and with its Love Box it lures enthusiasts (single or hitched!) to venture outside and engage with the estate’s beauty and bounty in its tranquil courtyard, framed with a lush green lawn and glistening ponds.
At R300, the royal Gabriëlskloof Love Box is perfect for two adults and features all things pretty and pleasant to indulge in while you whisper sweet nothings to your partner. Think salmon, strawberries, chocolate marquise pots, candy floss and milk shake with a twist.What’s inside will depend on the ‘love potion’ in the kitchen and deli on the day.
Love is in the air at Gabriëlskloof all year long and it shows in its delicious wines, which beckon to be enjoyed either outside on the grass or in the tasting lounge, where relaxed tastings, tempting food and wine pairing pleasures and friendly staff come standard.Those not wanting to drape themselves on the estate’s greenery can continue their food and wine love affair at the tables inside the popular restaurant or outside on the inviting stoep. Gabriëlskloof Estate is just outside Bot River, on the Swartrivier Road, off the N2.
Gabriëlskloof is open daily for lunch and wine tastings – except on Tuesdays – and pre-bookings for the Love Box experience are essential.
