Sunday morning saw us on the
R44 heading for Del Vera, who hosted their first Wingerd Vista Market
Oh, this looks interesting for
lunch. A Wild Boar on the spit
There are many that roam the
countryside near Wellington and they have to be controlled as they do enormous damage to the vineyards. They are, apparently, descended from some imported European boars (and sows) which escaped from captivity years ago. This young one looked as though it is would be delicious. On leaving, we bought two of the Panini rolls stuffed
with the meat and had them for our supper
Janine van Zyl, Owner,
Founder & Executive Chef at Cold Gold Artisan Ice Cream & Sorbet
She
has just taken over the restaurant at Del Vera, which will soon open, and managed the market
Inside the shed was the
market
And a familiar face in our
wine world with her own product, MalMalva flavoured marshmallows in different guises
We
loved the rose and pink peppercorn. She has some very unusual flavours too
A pancake stand right next to
Clemingold gin, which you could taste and buy
Delheim wine estate, which owns DelVera, has
the wine stand, so you can buy by the glass or the bottle
Some seating inside and some
outside. It was very hot and humid, so many preferred inside
BELCROQ Croquettes Belgian
Style with bitterballen, olieballen and other Vlaamsche treats
Jewellery, gifts, biscuits
and rusks, made to support autistic children
And there were a few bygones
stands
We tried two beers from the
Biervrou stand, a rather bitter lager and a dark and treacly ale
A sign at the restaurant door with directions to some of the usual
occupants at DelVera
Inside the restaurant, just
waiting to get going. We do hope to return when Janine has the restaurant up
and running
She showed us her spotless
kitchen and it is a chef’s dream
and umbrellas on the lawn
And, far away from everyone
else, the smokers' area
