Snail Trail 73: Protea Hill Farm Visit
Comments Off SATURDAY 17TH OCTOBER, 2009,10.00AM
VINEGAR TASTING AND FARM VISIT
PROTEA HILL FARM, STELLENBOSCH
On Saturday, 17th October, we will be visiting Slow Food Cape Town members Erica and Martin Gruenert on their farm, to taste and learn about their award-winning range of fruit, herb and flower-infused vinegars.
Erica and Martin will explain the processes behind their range of vinegars, and offer a tasting of their range. Vinegars will be available for purchase, at farm prices (please bring cash).
After the talk, we will take a stroll through the farm, so please wear appropriate shoes and sun protection.
The visit should not last more than two hours, and members are welcome to visit the many restaurants in the area for lunch afterwards.
Erica and Martin are generously hosting this event free of charge for members and their guests, but as space is limited, please book your place by emailing Lorna van Besouw as soon as possible at Email: vbesouw@iafrica.com
DIRECTIONS: Protea Hill Farm is close to No 13 on the map (see attachment), in the Knorhoek valley but on top of a hill, neighbors to Delheim, Muratie, Quoin Rock and Knorhoek Wine Estates.
Turn off from the R44 into Knorhoek Road, go 1km straight, before the entrance of Quoin Rock Wine Estate leads a steep Private Road (signposted “private road”) to the right up the hill.
Follow the road all the way up for 1km (do not enter Hoog Eind, or Wild Peacook, neighbors), turn left at the very top, white house green roof.
