Blending wine at Slanghoek Cellar

Jason's Hill Private Cellar, Slanghoek Valley

The cellar nestled into the mountain from the side of the road

The entrance and the wedding marquee on the lawn in front

The tasting room entrance

We meet Ivy du Toit, the winemaker, in the tasting room

Who rules the roost around here? Me, Jason, the farm cat

Jason's Hill Chardonnay and Shiraz

Ivy du Toit, winemaker

The Bistro is above the tasting room

The lunch menu has something for everyone..

..  and so does the breakfast menu

A delightful amuse appeared - of Parma ham, brie and caramelised onions on top of a crostini

Moroccan flavoured lamb shank pie with seared vegetables and potato croquettes

A Boerewors flavoured solid beef hamburger with nice thin crisp frites – we shared both courses

The event marquee with the beautiful view. They’d hosted a wedding the previous night

A tiny curio shop on the lawn

Breathtaking views of the valley and the mountains
