With festive season all but upon us, thoughts turn
to life’s special indulgences, and for many of us, a sumptuous
Christmas lunch with family or a celebratory dinner with friends to
welcome in the New Year, is at the very top of
our list.
To celebrate this time of peace and goodwill, our
intrepid chefs at Catharina’s, our fine dining restaurant at
Steenberg, and the stylish new Bistro 1682, have created Christmas and
New Year menus that are nothing short of culinary artworks. Whether an
end-of-year Christmas celebration for your staff, a family festive
season get-together, or a romantic Christmas Eve dinner for two, we
offer a delectable menu option, to suit the occasion.
The imminent opening of our innovative new cellar door
restaurant Bistro 1682, together with the Steenberg Winery, Wine
Tasting Bar and Tasting Lounge, will take place on 13 November. Where
better to celebrate, than in this picturesque corner of our working
wine estate, with its spectacular views across the vineyards and over
the Constantia
Valley?
With this, our new state-of-the-art conference and function venue,
‘The Meeting Room’, offers business travellers
and local business people an exceptional conference and function destination, away from the hustle and
bustle of the city.
Whether your visit to Steenberg encompasses business or pleasure, we
look forward to welcoming in the festive season with you!
