Exploring The Winelands; Lanzerac

February 11, 2013 in Travel, Winelands- South Africa
I am so very fortunate to not only live in such a beautiful country but also to stay in such an incredibly stunning part of the country. The Western Cape has plenty to offer and exploring my own city Cape Town and the surrounding areas is never boring. The Winelands are filled with rich history, exquisite settings and delicious food and wine to indulge in. I will be starting a new feature on here called Exploring The Winelands.
First up is Lanzerac, a gorgeous estate that has a hotel, a restaurant that is divided up so whether you are going for lunch on the terrace, dinner in the manor or high tea in the courtyard you feel accommodated, they also have a cocktail lounge as well as a wine tasting and sales section.
It was a boiling hot day so the terrace covered by trees and a glass of chilled white wine was ideal.
I opted to go for a salad as a starter, salmon trout with capers, beetroot, rocket and artichokes.
Their menu comprises of more classic meals with a slight twist. The flavours combined perfectly.
For mains it was linefish (kingklip) served with the most divine coriander mash.
The inside of the restraurant has stuck to original decor and you are welcome to have a coffee in the lounge area, it has a Downton Abbey feel to it so I had lots of fun pretending to be the lady of the manor… Not sure Dowager Countess of Grantham (Maggie Smiths character) would approve of my attire.
They also have a cocktail/bar area called Azure..
Lanzerac has a superb range of wines and I was blown away by their Sauvignon Blanc. I have considered adding a wine review section to One Stiletto At A Time (similar to The Nail File review section). So look out for that reviews amongst many others soon!

    You ARE incredibly lucky to live where you do and it makes me happy to see someone appreciate it so much 🙂
    That looks amazing and I have to visit when I’m next down (living there myself – and appreciating everything too)

    Much love, Bailey from Vanilla Blonde

WOW!!! I knew that if a place is using @frysfamily WOW!!! I knew that if a place is using @frysfamily products then the results would be good. What I did not expect was arguably the best sushi I have ever had! @johndoryssa you have outdone yourself with this vegan “prawn style” sushi platter. I got it as a takeaway as you can see but I’ll certainly be back very soon for another platter. Now I’m really keen to try the “prawn style” tacos too.

*And yes the Mayo etc is all 100% vegan and so is the “roe”. All plant-based deliciousness💕💕💕

I’m definitely bombarding Instagram today but as I’m definitely bombarding Instagram today but as I mentioned in my previous post, it was my mother’s 70th. The birthday turned into an entire week of celebrations. As I wasn’t sure when I’d be able to see her again, with the ever-changing lockdown levels. 

It’s been fun with surprises arriving almost everyday for her. Aside from this gorgeous #Vegan birthday cake from @emmasvegancakes, nothing else was actually a part of the original birthday plans! We were meant to be all on a safari and my sister (from the UK) was meant to be here. 

However, we made it as memorable as we could!! Also, the main thing that makes a birthday, a birthday, is birthday cake right??! 

Who still thinks that vegan food is just “vegetables” or has to be boring. Going plant-based doesn’t mean missing out on any treats. 

This gorgeous & delicious vanilla cake was amazing. It actually reminded us of my granny’s famous family cake. She passed away at 94 and if I recall correctly she was still regularly whipping up those cakes until 90! Although those definitely weren’t vegan.

On Monday, the 18th of January, it was my incredib On Monday, the 18th of January, it was my incredible Mother’s 70th birthday. The woman who brought me into this world, taught me so much. She is also my best friend. Someone I can talk to about everything and anything, our family truly has no filters! 

This year it was even more special just by being able to celebrate with her. Which is why simply spending time with her turned her birthday into a week long celebration! It started on Friday! Mostly due to the fact that being able to spend time this together and physically see her was the biggest blessing. With everything going on in the world right now, to be able to both be healthy and together is all we could of asked for. 

To even think of what my sister, who couldn’t fly down from the UK, rest of the family and I had planned for her. Even for all of us from December until now. It all seems so surreal... The world has truly changed. I wish my sister could of been here with us, but she was in a sense as with such a massive birthday bouquet I wouldn’t of been surprised if she was hidden in there!

This summer heat is definitely making the days fee This summer heat is definitely making the days feel far longer. Also, since doing both #Veganuary2021 and the @RushTush Vegan Glow Cleanse, prepping food in advance has become a part of my routine. No more rushing to make quickly make something or quickly ordering a takeaway. This means healthier and more filling meals. So usually at this time it’s simply snack time. Fresh pineapple is a favourite. I sometimes even ice mine!

I have so many personal posts I want to write but am also afraid of sharing. Especially at a time when it seems like everything brings out the “ugly” in people. Anyone else feeling the same?

Oh just casually forcing my fur kids to love me!!! Oh just casually forcing my fur kids to love me!!! 

Just kidding, they usually the ones begging for love. @candi_onewoofatatime sleeps on my feet as in on. To trap me or on my actual head. @oneroccoatatime also tries to do the “on mummy’s head” move even though he weighs 32kg. Or he sleeps alongside us like a real big boy that snores. They the most amazing little souls and have helped me through so many tough mental health times. 

Yes, we allow our dogs on the bed. They are actually cleaner than most humans 💕

Should have of course posted these last night but Should have of course posted these last night but hey the evening was SO crazy!! Haha actually it was a total bust. Arguing over midnight music, weird tasting cocktails and hangry as my pizzas were taking too long. But we were together and alive so I guess that’s a plus. Tried to create a “holiday” vibe with whatever I could find around the house.
