WITH the Italian heritage behind the brand and awe-inspiring views – thanks to the unrivalled setting at the slopes of the Helderberg mountains – Morgenster Estate has launched its new Aperitivo offering.
In Italian culture, an aperitivo is a pre-dinner drink; a cultural ritual set for the late afternoon or early evening, between work and dinner. In etymology we trace the word back to the Latin aperire which loosely translates to “open” the stomach before dining.
Perfecting the art of la dolce vita and true to its proud roots, the family-run estate has launched this offering on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays between 4.30pm and 6.30pm, when Italian-inspired light bites and unrivalled mountains views offer the perfect setting to enjoy its award-winning wine collection. Visitors can opt to soak in the contemporary interiors of the tasting room, or spill out onto the terrace area to enjoy the last of the sunshine, overlooking the dam and beautiful nature all around.
Aperitivo offerings are served as a seasonal and small selection of Italian-inspired light bites, at R65 per person, best accompanied by your choice of Morgenster Estate wines, served by bottles or by glass.
Booking is essential (last seating 6pm). Call 021 852 1738 or email [email protected]
