FEBRUARY is set to be a month of celebration at Brookdale Estate in the Paarl Winelands, with milestone moments, romantic dining, the return of Sunset Dinner Series, and the harvest in full swing.
Leading the month’s festivities on Sunday, 1 February, The Bistro celebrates its third birthday. Chef Gary Coetzee invites guests to book for lunch and enjoy a complimentary glass of bubbly as Brookdale Estate acknowledges the wonderful support it has received from its diners. Most recent accolades are as a Top 10 Destination Restaurant in the Cape (The Inside Guide), and Top 20 Restaurants in South Africa for 2025 (Dineplan).
Romance takes centre stage on Saturday, 14 February. The a la carte summer menu will be served for lunch and dinner, accompanied by a complimentary glass of Mason Road Serendipity rosé. For dinner, live music by Leigh Hondy will set the mood, creating a memorable evening for couples to celebrate together.
Wine lovers can look forward to Syrah Day on 16 February, as Brookdale Estate celebrates one of its signature varietals. Guests are encouraged to visit the tasting room Tuesdays to Sundays to discover the elegance of the 2024 Mason Road Syrah. The wine was awarded four stars in the 2025 Platter’s by Diners Club South African Wine Guide – a proud achievement for the Brookdale winemaking team and a standout expression of the varietal.
The Sunset Dinner Series continues every Wednesday and Thursday evening until 26 March. With two sittings at 5.30pm and 7.30pm, these dinners invite guests to linger over seasonal dishes while enjoying sweeping sunset views as the sun dips behind the vineyards.
Whether celebrating a special occasion, indulging in exceptional wine, or simply soaking up the beauty of summer evenings in the Winelands, February at Brookdale Estate promises unforgettable moments.
