It’s spring in the winelands – and Spier is serving up some beautiful, fresh flavours!
Spier has three new delicious platters to enjoy with their wines. Visitors can choose from the generous Cheese and Meat Platter, which includes delights like Farmer Angus charcuterie and Dalewood Camembert; the Cheese Platter, which boasts an array of locally produced cheeses; or the nourishing and vegan-friendly Garden Bowl, which contains fresh seasonal veggies. Designed for two, these platters can be savoured inside among the art-adorned walls or outside on the deck with a backdrop of the dam and mountains.
Cheese and Meat Platter:
Get ready for a veritable smorgasbord with the Cheese and Meat platter that combines the rich flavours of Farmer Angus charcuterie with the cheesy offerings of Dalewood Camembert and Klein River Havarti. The platter is complemented with lentil hummus, marinated olives, and freshly baked Vadas bread, such as baguette and rosemary focaccia, perfect for mopping up some creamy Jersey butter. The compressed fruit Mimbrello adds a sweet note, all served with crispy Lavash crackers to add some crunch.
Cheese Platter:
Cheese lovers, this one’s for you. The Cheese Platter is loaded with various Dalewood cheeses, including soft Lanqeudoc, semi-hard Simond, and delicately textured Hugenote. But that’s just the beginning. Find your bliss in the rich textures of Cremalat Gorgonzola and Foxenburg Goat’s Cheese, along with a touch of Klein River Havarti Gouda. Served with lentil hummus, Jersey butter, compressed fruit Mimbrello, and a selection of fresh Vadas bread and Lavash crackers.
Garden Bowl Platter (Vegan-Friendly):
If you’re in the mood for something light and fresh, try the vegan Garden Bowl. It’s a crisp assortment of seasonal vegetables from the Spier food garden. This colourful bowl celebrates the earth’s produce with a delightful blend of textures and flavours, served alongside lentil hummus and an assortment of freshly baked bread, including Vadas baguette and rosemary focaccia. Crisp Lavash crackers add the perfect crunch to this wholesome meal.
The Garden Bowl is available at R160 and the platters from R250.
