The family-owned Weltevrede Wine Estate,<\/strong> situated just outside the town of Bonnievale, in the Robertson Wine Valley in the Western Cape, is proud to announce the opening of its new recently launched Kapokbos Restaurant.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was also announced the winner in the Architecture & Landscape and the Innovative Wine Tourism Experiences categories at the prestigious <\/em>Great Wine Capitals Best Of Wine Tourism Awards (BOWTA) 2023 <\/em>for Cape Town & the Cape Winelands, held at Weltevrede Wine Estate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kapokbos Restaurant, beautifully situated on the estate overlooking the newly landscaped rose-and-vine garden and named after an indigenous Kapokbos herb found in the veld surrounding the estate, is run by the husband-and-wife team, chefs Juan Fourie and Samantha Morris-Fourie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a fine dining and private cheffing background, the Fourie\u2019s have a unique perspective of what works and what doesn’t. They consider a key ingredient to the success of Kapokbos lies in believing in the ethos and the concept of Weltevrede Wine Estate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Sam and I are excited about the direction the estate is heading and really thrilled to be joining the Weltevrede Wine Estate family,\u201d said Juan Fourie. \u201cAfter years of being nomads, we have now firmly rooted ourselves here and we\u2019ve devised menus that present contemporary country-style cuisine incorporating local tastes, culture and creativity.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This announcement of the new restaurant comes on the heels of the pioneering Weltevrede Wine Estate\u2019s recent extensive revamp and re-development of the farm\u2019s visitor experiences. With these upgrades Weltevrede now offers a world-class visitor centre that is open for tastings \u2013 a new tasting venue has been added; Underground Tours (world class) where you enter into a world steeped in the history of Chardonnay, old books, artworks, memorabilia and historic exhibits that show its place in history, while highlighting its heritage of winemaking excellence; activities, a new kid\u2019s play area, a beautiful landscaped rose-and-vine garden and of course, the new Kapokbos Restaurant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Already becoming the go-to restaurant in the Robertson Wine Valley area, Kapokbos is open from Tuesday to Sunday from\u00a012:00\u201316:00\u00a0(last seating 15:00), and from 4 November on Friday and Saturday for dinner from 18:00 to 22:00 (last seating 20:00) serving contemporary country cuisine.

A member of Cape Country Routes, Weltevrede Wine Estate is arguably one of the oldest South African wine brands still owned and run by the same family \u2013 the Jonker family. The Jonker family has been farming there for a hundred years. Now in the hands of Philip Jonker, the fourth-generation family winemaker and Chardonnay specialist, the estate has been inspiring South Africans with wine of the purest quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kapokbos Restaurant upholds exceptional standards of service and high quality food offerings that are on par with the best, melding seamlessly with the ethos of the Breede River Valley\u2019s pioneering Weltevrede Wine Estate well-known to wine-lovers around the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
