DINE WITH US  print this page 

Dining is as versatile as it is enjoyable at Vergelegen and lunches can be savoured all year round in the 'Stables at Vergelegen' bistro and during the Summer season, at the Rose Terrace and Camphor Forest picnic.

Vergelegen's various culinary experiences have one common element: menus that are designed to complement Vergelegen's award-winning wines and that follow the seasons to make the best of local produce. Our cuisine is contemporary country style.

camphor forest PICNIc

The word picnic consists of "pic" meaning to pick at food, and "nic" referring to something small. So, you will be given a superb selection of small things to pick at to please both the palate and the senses. And for the children, there is a fun treasure hunt...

"Men and women today do not spend whole days at the dining table and ten-course meals have disappeared. But more than ever before, food, through the choice of dishes and their preparation, forms an integral part of life and remains the natural expression of conviviality." Robert J Courtine - Larousse Gastronomique

It is in this spirit that we welcome you to our Camphor Forest Picnic.

Open from November to April, picnics may be collected from 12h15 to 13h30. Bookings essential (made via the restaurant). Picnic closes at 16h30.
