It’s not about what day it is… It’s about who you’re with, what’s on your plate, and that unmistakable Knysna feeling that keeps calling you back.

Benguela Cove Wine Estate hosts its Cap Classique Brunch on Sunday 29 March 2026, bringing together three of the estate's award-winning Méthode Cap Classique wines and a three-course pairing menu in an intimate setting on the Cape Whale Coast.

The event is limited to 30 guests and takes place on the estate's 220-hectare WWF Conservation Champion property.

The experience includes:

• An oyster tower on arrival, served with lemon, Tabasco, and a Brut pour
• Second course: deep-fried chicken with mini waffles, fresh raspberries, strawberries, and maple drizzle
• Third course: shredded confit duck eggs Benedict with hollandaise on toasted ciabatta
• Cap Classique wine pairings throughout, featuring Joie de Vivre, Cuvée 58 NV, and Cuvée 58 Rosé

This intimate experience will be hosted by Winemaker Trudie Mulder, an exciting new addition to Benguela Cove’s team.

All three of Benguela Cove's Cap Classiques are produced from 100% estate-grown fruit, using the traditional bottle-fermentation method. The estate's cool maritime climate produces wines with the fruit purity and acidity that make them a natural match for a food-driven brunch format.

Estate wines are available to purchase on the day. Luxury villa accommodation is available to book separately for guests extending their visit.

Date: Sunday, 29 March 2026 | Time: 11:00 - 14:00 | Ticket price: R750 per person (fully inclusive)

Try our Sunday Celebrations, sharing generous tables laden with plentiful platters. Families and friends gather around as they would at home but embracing other like-minded diners who have also come to delight in nature’s abundance and sip, if old enough, on fresh, elegant wines that express their lime-rich soils and proximity to the sea. We call it merroir – a blend of mer/sea and terroir.

St Patrick’s Week has officially taken over Tapas & Oysters!

Seven days. A parade of daily specials. Big-screen sport, live music, cold pints, and the kind of laid-back vibes that make it very easy to stay “just one more”. From burgers and steaks to sushi, prawns, pizzas and happy hour… every day brings a new reason to pull up a chair.

Add Guinness month, great company, and a little Irish luck in the air, and suddenly your weekly plans start looking very green.  Swing by, catch the game, enjoy the music, and let the good times roll all week long.

Some surprises as well!

Let us host your party!

Our back bar is now stocked with a refined selection of Japanese whiskeys—from smoky to floral, there's something to suit every palate. Japanese whiskeys are revered worldwide for their meticulous craftsmanship, blending innovative techniques with traditional practices to create unique and sophisticated flavours.

Take, for example, the Suntory Toki, known for its exceptional balance and harmony, featuring a silky texture with a subtly sweet and spicy finish. It's a great introduction to Japanese whiskey, highlighting the delicate artistry involved in its production.

Another excellent choice is the Nikka Gold & Gold Samurai, offering a rich and complex profile with hints of honey, spices, and a smooth, lingering finish. The Samurai edition is particularly notable for its distinctive packaging, which adds an element of cultural heritage to its presentation.

The crown jewel of our whiskey offering is Hibiki 21, crafted by Suntory and aged for at least 21 years. It boasts a rich amber hue, with aromas of dried fruits, honey, and dark chocolate. The palate features sweet caramel, ripe plums, and a subtle spiciness, leading to a smooth finish. This whiskey was awarded “World’s Best Blended Whisky” in 2010, 2011, 2013, 2016, 2017, and 2019.

Whether you are a seasoned connoisseur or new to the world of Japanese whiskeys, our selection promises an enlightening journey into the heart of Japanese distilling traditions.
