Winter Warmer

   
This is the time for roaring fireplaces, inviting food, elegant wine and welcoming service to make the inner person feel truly indulged.

 

The Winter Warmer Menus have been a popular addition to Catharina’s winter menu; it is real value for your money. The latest menu is: 

  

A Glass of Klein Steenberg Sauvignon Blanc OR Klein Steenberg Bordeaux Blend

BROCCOLI AND CAULIFLOWER SOUP
blue cheese cream, flaked almonds

MALAY SPICED MARKET FISH
curry crust, tomato, cucumber and sweet pepper sambal, fried prawn, coriander yoghurt and breyani rice

Luncheon

Dinner

Service Fee is not included

The menus are changed regularly. Please telephone the restaurant on 021 713 2222 for information on menu changes and to book.

It’s a sure bet that the mid July menu will have a distinctly French influence.
 


Winter a la Carte Menu

The winter a la carte menu is proving to be a winner amongst diners.

Chef is basking in all the compliments with the Chalmar Beef Fillet being a popular choice closely followed by the Springbok Loin, with many diners choosing to finish their meal off with a selection of Farmhouse Cheeses and a glass of Port.

Editor’s note: A winter treat to cheer us up!

      

     

July Special

 
A Hot Stone Back and Neck massage

45 minutes of bliss for R250

 
Try Babor’s Khanya Treatment; an African Adventure

 

Drawing inspiration from ancient rituals and the traditions of Africa, Babor’s Khanya Energy Balance treatment incorporates elements such as lava stone, calcite and rose quartz to awaken and harmonise the energies.

 

The therapist also makes use of wooden African rattles, known as Maracas as harmonizing massage elements reminiscent of ancient dance rituals.

Products used activate and harmonise one’s energies using ingredients containing Marula oil and active Tea Plant extracts to balance the skin’s natural protective function and to maintain its vitality and resilience, leaving one feeling energized and balanced.

The treatment starts off with a full body exfoliation using fine salt, continues with a full body massage using the elements as stated and finishes with a mini facial; 2 hours which leave one feeling energized, balanced and ready to take on the world.


The Spa at Steenberg is one of the few Spas in South Africa to offer this exotic and effective treatment.

Please telephone the Spa on 021 713 2222 for more information or to book.

       

Winery News ...
 

   

Brut 1682 will be back in stock, and the special for July is Catharina at R135 per bottle, as opposed to the normal R170 per bottle.

 

Delicious!

• The July special is Catharina 2006 at R135.

• Celebrations on the programme? Luckily the Brut 1682 is back in stock.

True to the ‘declaration’ that was made when Magna Carta was released, Steenberg Vineyards will not be releasing the 2008 vintage as the quality is not up to standard.

Instead they have released a Sauvignon Blanc Semillon 2008 which is available from the Cellar Door at R160 per bottle.

Steenberg Vineyards have arranged a weekend away from Friday 31st July to Sunday 2nd August.

Join John Loubser on a weekend for a special gourmet and wine weekend at The Palms Wilderness Retreat on the beautiful Garden Route.

Pre dinner drinks, gourmet meals accompanied by Steenberg wines, champagne breakfasts, optional hikes and other entertainments are all fully included in the special rate of R2455 per person sharing. There is also a fly-in special which has been arranged from Johannesburg. Detailed pamphlets are available from the Tasting Room or call 021 713 2211 for more information.

Editor’s note: Definitely going to get a bottle of that Sauvignon Blanc Semillon and a weekend away hosted by John Loubser can definitely go on my Agenda ...
