Zorgvliet Vineyard Lodge & Spa, Stellenbosch

WHY? Because this wine estate in the spectacularly scenic Banhoek Valley is geared up to providing couples with an ultimate Winelands wedding experience, offering luxury accommodation with a spa among the vineyards and a choice of venues. Exchange vows in a chapel (seating 140 people) complete with stained glass windows, a piano and an organ. Receptions with dining and dancing can take place in the Oak Room (for between 80 and 140 guests), while the picnic area on the lawn can be utilised for an outdoor affair with a marquee tent. In-house catering provides a fine selection of contemporary fare, whether buffet style or plated. Only wines from the Zorgvliet or Silver Myn ranges (including Silver Myn MCC) are allowed.

WE THINK... that the on-site chapel is one of most beautiful in the winelands and makes up for the slightly more commercialised function room.

Manna Epicure

"I think I've died and gone to heaven," said my friend as we swept into Manna, joining Cape Town's culinary cognoscenti at lunch. She's mad about pretty places that are new, in the news and not too hoity-toity. She wasn't referring to the décor, but the waiters. Eye-candy deluxe! For more. [click here]
