Morgenster Estate’s Tasting Room Offers All The Warmth And More

The sun has finally shown its face again after two weeks of extreme cold weather in the Cape, and in true fashion we can’t wait to explore.

Look no further than Morgenster Estate, situated in Somerset West, known for its Italian style cultivars and award-winning Extra Virgin Olive Oils.

The cozy fire place adds extra warmth from any chill outside, making your wine tasting experience extra special. The bespoke tasting menu takes the pressure off making decisions and caters to all palates. The prices for the tastings range from R70 to R130 per person, which includes the Single Cultivar, Giulio or Bordeaux Style ranges within the estate’s niche portfolio. For that something extra, The Italian Experience ticks all of the boxes when it comes to an authentic tasting. The cost of R520 for two people includes a tutored Extra Virgin Olive Oil tasting, an Italian-style platter and a bottle of wine from the Giulio range.

The contemporary setting of the Tasting Room is the perfect venue to enjoy a lazy Saturday afternoon with friends, sipping on superb wines whilst enjoying each other’s company. Snack platters of olives and olive pastes are also available in case you feel like something light to nibble on.

Before heading home be sure to browse some of the olive oil products for sale, which include homemade soap, multi-use skincare balm, honey, handmade Schiacciantine biscuits.

Morgenster Estate is open to the public for tastings from 9am to 5pm Monday to Saturday, and from 9am to 4pm on Sunday. For further information tastingroom@morgenster.co.za or contact the estate directly on 021 852 1738.
