Five course menu & wine pairing
With an abundance of top-quality produce right on their doorstep, the Franschhoek Culinary Collective sets out to highlight the valley’s best local suppliers and ingredients. The menu has been carefully planned to champion seasonal produce, pairing each course with fine wines from some of the valley’s most esteemed wine estates.
To kick-off the festivities, guests will be welcomed with a glass of Haute Cabriere Cap Classique and a selection of canapés prepared by Chef Christiaan of Leopard’s Leap. From there, diners will be treated to a 5-course celebration of all things local. From the bread course, to starters and mains, followed by dessert, each plate will be presented by the chef himself and a local artisan or supplier.
