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.
