Mimosa Launches Food & Wine Pairing weekend

A bit like Brad and Angelina, food and wine have always made the perfect pair. Gourmands will attest to the fact that pairing certain wines with the right food will enhance subtle flavours, bringing out the best in both. Mimosa Lodge, a four-star guest house with a multiple award winning kitchen in the town of Montagu has fittingly launched a series of wine pairing weekends for beginners and aficionados alike. Discover how and why to best partner which wine varietals to suited dishes while tantalizing the taste buds in the process. Relax, revive and rejuvenate after a scenic two hour drive from Cape Town.

Enjoy the beauty of the Robertson Wine Valley as the journey takes you to selected wine estates along the scenic Route 62, the longest wine route in the world. Between the May and August this year, Mimosa Lodge has partnered with various wine farms in the Robertson Wine Valley to create sparkling food and wine pairing weekend getaway packages.
