This past Saturday, @morkrock and I visited Meerendal Wine Farm, which is just outside of Durbanville in Cape Town. It was our friend's birthday, and we hadn't seen in her in so long. It was a typical January day here in CT. Verrry hot, and verrrry windy.


At Meerendal, there are two restaurants - Crown, which is a bit more upmarket, and Carlucci's, which is a deli, and the restaurant we ate at.

It's a typical wine farm setup, with a tasting area, restaurant and hotel. I would not rate it too highly, compared to the other wine farms in the area, but the food was tasty and the setting quite idyllic.

I peeked into the original farm house, as there were no guests. It's pretty and quite modernized.

My friend had booked a table next to the kiddies play area, and honestly, those kids were loving life. There was a jumping castle, jungle gym and there was also a good menu for the kiddiewinks.

The menu was pretty normal, pizza, sandwiches and salads, but it was tasty. We both had the chicken mayo, bacon and avocado sandwiches and shared a side of hand cut sweet potato fries. The best part was the homemade mayonnaise, which was not a thick sauce, but rather, a thinner, frothier style of mayo. We loved it so much that @morkrock wanted to drink it straight out of the serving bowl, but luckily I stopped him. 馃槀馃槀

They also had fabulous G&T concoctions, my fave was the Lemongrass and Elderflower Gin and Tonic.

There is also a cute little deli, where they sell cheeses, breads, jams and preserves and other similar items. The shelves were a bit empty that day as there had been a park run earlier, but it definitely looked like a sweet little deli.

We had a lovely time and enjoyed the food. While not my best wine farm ever, it was enjoyable . A beautiful setting with delicious food

I snapped this on the way home. The clouds were scrambled all over the sky from the hectic winds we had, and are still having!
