Domaine viticole de Vergenoegd L\u00f6w<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You have just one responsibility, and that\u2019s to give yourself over to pleasure and contentment, to refresh and rewind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vergenoegd L\u00f6w is one of South Africa\u2019s oldest working farms dating from 1696. Its Cape Dutch heritage buildings have been restored to their graceful but simple grandeur. When prominent German entrepreneur, philanthropist, specialist historian and heritage advocate Prof. Dr. Dr. Peter L\u00f6w, visited the first time, he could see the property was rich in potential and he set about revitalising it. That was in 2015.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Dylan Lewis in full glory<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now it is a flourishing enterprise, where mixed farming encourages biodiversity and sustainability in one of the loveliest parts of Stellenbosch. Replanted vineyards are regeneratively farmed. Gardens are landscaped with indigenous flora and punctuated with bold Dylan Lewis sculptures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guests can amble, walk or jog along the glorious trails and delight in the open skies and views of the mountain.

Two Bertus Basson restaurants<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Renowned chef Bertus Basson, who celebrates local culinary heritage and produce, has conceived two restaurants on the farm, each quite different from the other:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A feast prepared by Geuwels restaurant<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Geuwels<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Geuwels<\/a>\u00a0is a casual eatery serving breakfast and lunch daily and featuring heritage items and local ingredients such as roosterkoek, (griddle cake) sour-fig jam, traditional stews and chutneys, bokkoms (salt-cured dried fish) and local tarts, cakes and confection, not to mention duck eggs. These are familiar, well-loved tastes amongst most South Africans, but they have been reimagined in fresh and original new ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Join us for dinner at Clara\u2019s Barn<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clara\u2019s Barn<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The restaurant is named after Prof. Dr. Dr. L\u00f6w\u2019s wife, Clara. It is housed in what in all probability is the oldest building on the farm and is thought to pre-date the 1773 manor house. Clara\u2019s Barn<\/a> has a daily five-course menu. Here the focus is on nose-to-tail dishes, foraged herbs and mushrooms, vegetables and fruit grown on the farm or by small-scale farmers in the area. The food is also based on inventive re-interpretations of local heritage dishes. All courses can be paired with wines from the farm.
