Taste Of Tulbagh Brings Superb Award Winning Wines From Estates In Tulbagh Right To Your Door.
Often described as the Valley of Abundance, Tulbagh has its own unique beauty and tranquility. Pieter Potter, surveyor general to the first governor of the Cape, Jan van Riebeeck must have felt this way back in 1658 when first setting eyes on the Tulbagh Valley. However he would not have known then that one day the valley was to produce a wide range of exquisite wines.
Tulbagh is the fourth oldest town in South Africa (after Cape Town, Stellenbosch and Swellendam) dating back to the early 1700s, but in more recent times, wine has moved centre stage. It is situated in a bowl surrounded by the imposing Obiqua Mountains to the west, the Winterhoek Mountains in north and the Witzenberg Mountains to the east. The Southern side of the valley is open to cooling south-east winds during the hot summer months. Accordingly Tulbagh enjoys some of the most diverse and attractive conditions for viticulture in the Cape, attributes that have attracted many new producers to the valley.
The Taste Of Tulbagh now brings these suburb wines to an exclusive online wine selection, which has received a string of national and international awards including Diners Club Wine Maker of the Year and a healthy spread of gold and double gold Veritas awards.

Simonsig Wine Estate is synonymous with the history of the South African wine industry, the Stellenbosch wine region, and the Malan family name. These elements are intertwined in this family-owned farm, where the late Frans Malan produced the first bottle of our much-loved Kaapse Vonkel, South Africaʼs first Méthode Cap Classique made in the classic bottle-fermented style. He is also honoured for co-founding the thriving Stellenbosch Wine Route, a first in its time. Today, his legacy lives on through his sons, Francois and Johan, and grandchildren Francois-Jacques, Christelle and Michael, the 2nd and 3rd Malan generations at Simonsig Wine Estate.
"At Simonsig, the Malan family values drive the Estate’s commitment to producing wines of internationally regarded excellence, expressing the unique and diverse terroir of the Stellenbosch region. We also believe that being a gift of nature made for the enjoyment of people, our wine offering should always be complemented by true Cape hospitality and efficient service."

GOOD CHEFS COOK BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO, GREAT CHEFS COOK BECAUSE THEY WANT TO! "I studied at Silwood Kitchens in Rondebosch and did a 3 year Grande Diploma course. Started as a trainee at Terroir Restaurant under the supervision of Michael Broughton. Then I travelled abroad to Peebles in Scotland, where I got to work at a Boutique hotel and restaurant with their own fresh produce garden. That is where my love for fresh seasonal food started. After returning to South Africa I have worked my way through a few wine farms such as Big Easy, Cuvee @ Simonsig and as Head Chef at Babel@ Babylonstoren before joining Longtable Restaurant as Head of kitchen in September 2018. I have been a chef for almost 14 years, and still loving it!"
You want to drop me an email? [email protected]
It is our long-held view that great wines taste their best with good food, and whenever possible in good company. We created Longtable not as a glittering showpiece of authentic Cape cuisine, but as a place where unpretentious, flavoursome food could be enjoyed in a relaxing and convivial setting. We like to think that Longtable is all of this and more. With our supply of organic vegetables and sustainable fish, we are able to provide not only delicious food, but food which is sustainably sourced, with minimum waste, and zero use of plastics.

About The Winelands welcomes Cape Wine Master and Winemaker at Groot Constantia, Boela Gerber. Boela joined Groot Constantia as winemaker in 2001. Groot Constantia is South Africa's oldest wine farm (335 years old in 2020) is also one of the oldest brands in the world which has reached iconic status.
It all began in 1679, when Simon van der Stel was appointed by the Dutch East India Company to govern the Cape of Good Hope. After years of loyal service, he requested land from the Company. He periodically sent out riders to collect soil samples. In 1685 he chose 891 morgen (about 763 ha) situated behind Table Mountain for its wine-growing potential and magnificent scenery. Over the years the wines produced on the estate caught the attention of influential people across the globe – clearly due to its impressive quality. Global aristocracy made sure that they had enough stock of this acclaimed and precious product.
"Our founder named his farm "Constantia" after the Latin word for constancy or steadfastness. These attributes he valued greatly and today we follow in his footsteps to uphold his enduring legacy of perfection at Groot Constantia."

ABOUT THE WINELANDS welcomes Emma Bruwer, Winemaker at Le Lude Estate situated in Franschhoek, South Africa. Le Lude, a wine farm in the picturesque Franschhoek Valley of South Africa’s Western Cape, follows an ethos committed to its founding family and the crafting of naturally bottle-fermented sparkling wines, known as Cap Classique.
Here the Barrow family have made their home, writing a new chapter in a premier wine region where French Huguenots, fleeing persecution for their religious beliefs, landed in the Cape and began making wines in Franschhoek as far back as 1693. The pioneering approach of Le Lude is underscored by it being the first cellar to produce an Agrafe® (Tirage Liège) Cap Classique, paving the way for a sector of the South African wine industry on the road to greatness.
