May Cicchetti-Style Menu

Ends 31 May 2026
Paarl, Western Cape , -

May is plated… and it’s something special. 

Our new menu has arrived at Baccō, bringing bold, layered flavours and a touch of the unexpected to every course. From coal-roasted carrot tart with harissa caramel to golden kataifi mozzarella with a spicy twist, rich chicken & truffle risotto, and duck & cherry tortellini that lingers long after the last bite.

For something lighter, the salmon & beetroot salad offers balance and freshness, while the aged beef sirloin delivers depth, richness, and pure indulgence.

Every dish is thoughtfully created to stand on its own, yet even better when experienced alongside our wines in the tasting room.

This is the kind of menu you come back for… again and again.

Ends 27 August 2026
Paarl, Western Cape , -

As winter settles over the vineyards, Nederburg invites you to step into the warmth of candlelight and conversation with Candlelit Conversations with the Winemakers, an intimate dinner series hosted in the historic Manor House.

Set around a long table dressed in white linen and glowing with candlelight, these evenings are designed to bring people together through shared stories, carefully curated wines and thoughtful food. Hosted by members of the Nederburg winemaking team, each dinner offers guests the opportunity to explore selected releases, including rare and cellar-worthy wines, while engaging directly with the people behind the bottle.

Evenings unfold slowly, beginning with a welcome drink before guests are guided through a series of wines paired with a seasonal multi-course menu. Conversation flows easily, the pace is unhurried, and the focus remains firmly on connection, discovery and the pleasure of a shared table.

Candlelit Conversations is a celebration of winter dining at its most atmospheric, intimate, considered and deeply rooted in Nederburg’s heritage.

Dates:

  • Thursday, 28 May
  • Thursday, 25 June
  • Thursday, 3 July
  • Thursday, 27 August

 

Time: 18h00 – 18h30

Cost per person: R995 pp, includes Cap Classique and canapes on arrival, followed by a three course dinner and all wines.

Paarl, Western Cape , -

As winter evenings draw in, Nederburg invites guests to ease into the weekend with First Fridays at The Courtyard, a laid-back monthly gathering centred around good wine, comforting food, and the simple pleasure of staying a little longer.

On the first Friday of every winter month, the cellar doors remain open until 20h00, welcoming guests to gather by the fireplace in The Courtyard. Freshly made pizzas emerge from the kitchen, award-winning Nederburg wines flow easily, and the atmosphere is set by live music that adds warmth and rhythm to the evening without ever overpowering conversation.

Designed to be unhurried and unpretentious, First Fridays is about connection rather than occasion, a chance to meet friends after work, settle in with family, or begin the weekend at a gentler pace. Whether you arrive for a quick glass or linger long into the evening, the experience is defined by firelight, familiar flavours, and the pleasure of being present.

First Fridays at the Courtyard is winter at Nederburg at its most welcoming, relaxed, convivial, and made for sharing.

Dates:

Friday, 1 May 2026
Friday, 5 June 2026
Friday, 3 July 2026
Fridayy, 7 August 2026

The cost is R150 per person, including a glass from the Nederburg Winemasters range and your choice of any Courtyard pizza.
