Spring has arrived at Baccō, and with it, a fresh new menu. 

Our September Cicchetti Menu celebrates the change of season with vibrant flavours, playful combinations and dishes made for long lunches beneath the Winelands sky.

Discover the Golden Feta & Smoked Aubergine, delicate Tuna Crudo Cornetto, Tagliatelle Artichoke, indulgent Calamari Cabanara Risotto, or Crispy Pork Belly & Rum Braised Pineapple, each waiting to be enjoyed alongside your favourite Baccō wine.

New season. New flavours. Same Italian spirit of gathering, sharing and savouring every moment.

Welcome spring the Baccō way. 

This 24 September, we’re bringing a little Italian spirit to a proudly South African tradition. Think fires lit, lamb turning on the spit, wine flowing, a generous harvest table and an afternoon that’s meant to be enjoyed slowly.

From 12pm onwards, arrive when you like, find your place at the table and help yourself to a Heritage Day feast. Expect everything from rosemary focaccia and Baccō olives to peri-peri chicken, boerie rolls, braai broodjies, fried pap & chakalaka and, of course, malva pudding, melktert and peppermint crisp to finish.

Your day includes a welcome glass of Baccō Rosé, with live music adding to the atmosphere as we eat, drink and celebrate together.
