As an Estate we are able to initiate and follow this whole process from the growing of the young vine till the bottling of our finished product. We furthermore believe that our wines should be priced to reach the tables of as many wine drinkers as possible so that all can share in some of the magic that is Backsberg.
Restaurant
We have a varied a la carte menu that features traditional South African home-style meals, all made with fresh ingredients and our tried-and-trusted recipes. Our wine list offers all the Backsberg favourites as well as some special wines only available at the farm. Your kids will feel at home too, with a jungle gym in the garden and loads of space to play.
Our traditional lamb on the spit is available every Saturday and Sunday during summer, and just on Sundays during the winter months. We can serve lamb on the spit during the week on special request. On the weekend the spit is served with a buffet of salads, veggies and Linda’s famous roast potatoes.
Every Sunday we have a 3 course set menu priced at R190 per person which includes a starter, the lamb on the spit with a buffet of salads and a decadent desert. Guy Feldman will also be there to provide live guitar music and set the scene for a long lazy afternoon in the winelands.
Weddings and Functions
The estate is entered through an archway formed by magnificent old trees that line the mile long driveway and leads to manicured lawns and garden beds bursting with colour and fragrance. Explore the beautifully maintained gardens revealing a wedding photographers dream. Follow a pathway to the maze or an alcove enveloped by the branches of Plane trees and soak up the ambiance of true Cape Heritage and history.
Neville’s Place at Backsberg, our Function venue, was opened in November 2006. Sliding partitions transform this versatile venue into smaller areas to accommodate groups from fifty up to two hundred and fifty guests. High ceilings and wooden floors enhance the overall appearance and ambiance of this large venue. Folding doors open into a magnificent courtyard boasting and a cozy corner complete with a feature fireplace. An elegantly decorated, versatile annex with a feature fire place and private entrance from a verandah overlooking the Manor House is linked to the venue by a covered passage and may be used as a Private Boardroom, Reception Area, or Children’s Entertainment Area.
The options on this beautiful estate are endless with allocated lawns, surrounded by nature and breathtaking views. An exclusive venue with a definite “wow” factor, the historical Vat Cellar, is also available for Wedding Ceremonies and smaller functions.
