Jordan Honey Tasting
Throughout the years Jordan has had an interesting relationship with
the Cape Honey Bee, Apis Mellifera Capensis.
|
 |
If not stinging Gary
Jordan on the nose during an official photo-shoot and then young
Alex Jordan when the very first vintage of the Noble Late Harvest
Reserve was harvested, it seems ironically fitting that this
father-son team found it appropriate to work with these worker bees
to produce the Jordan Honey.
The Tasting Room is now presenting you with a unique opportunity to
taste this honey for the first time in the tasting room along side
the aptly named Mellifera NLH Reserve. |
The Tasting Room is open from Mon – Sun, 09:30 – 16:30, don’t miss
out!
Please contact Chandré on 021 881 3441 or email
sales@jordanwines.com
for more information.

The word "tapas" is derived from the Spanish verb tapar, "to
cover".
According to legend, the tapas tradition began when king Alfonso
X of Castile recovered from an illness by drinking wine with
small dishes between meals. After regaining his health, the king
ordered that taverns would not be allowed to serve wine to
customers unless it was accompanied by a small snack or "tapa."
Bellow is a small example of the delectable dishes that will be
available.
Local producers will be supplying chef
Logan Coath with only the best and freshest produce and
ingredients to ensure an ever changing menu. From forest picked
mushrooms and organic vegetables to locally caught seafood and
the best local hams.
Come
and join us in front of our cosy fireplace for a glass of our
award winning Cabernet Sauvignon and sample some of the best
produce the winelands has to offer.

Polkadraai Hills Scenic Winetasting Donkey Walk
The members of the Polkadraai Hills appellation got the idea to create a
tasting with a difference: the Scenic Winetasting Donkey Walk.
|
 |
Therefore we established the Scenic Walk.
It’s a circular walk, up and down along the Hills through
the vineyards, about 3.5 km long. We start at the Bein
Cellar at 4 p.m. The two donkeys Glory and Poppy walk with
us and carry wines from our appellation, the glasses,
snacks, water, your jackets etc. in their bags. After about
1 – 1.5 hours we arrive at a scenic spot, from where we can
overlook Cape Town, Cape Point, Hang Klip, False Bay,
Stellenbosch. The view is really fantastic! |
There we relax and enjoy the wines and the
snacks. This normally lasts approx. 1 hour. Afterwards it’s a short
walk down to the cellar (approx. 10 min), where people can refresh
and buy or order the wines they tasted if they wish to do so. All
together you will spend approx 3 hours with us.
Please note: some basic fitness is required!! It is
an easy walk if you are used to walk. And not dangerous at all! The
price per person is R 85.00 for the guided walk, wine tasting and
snacks. We can accommodate a maximum of 25 people.
Please contact Ingrid 021 881 30 25 or 072 629 3867 or
lib@beinwine.com for further info.
