WORLD CUP 2010 FEVER


With the 2010 Fifa-World Cup taking place  in our beautiful country right now, and as we move closer to the finals, there is a feeling around the Western Cape that gets to everyone.  It is called “Soccer Fever”! We at Seidelberg, have put a lot of preparation and hard work into our Tasting Room as well as into the De Leuwen Jagt restaurant. We have decorated the Estate with flags, Vuvuzellas, big playing schedules as well as Makarapas to give all our international guests the feeling of a warm South African welcome. To ensure that all our guests can spend the day on our farm without missing a single World Cup match, we installed a big flat screen TV into our De Leuwen Jagt restaurant. We will be showing all of the games live in the main section of the restaurant. When the opening of the WC came closer, you could feel the excitement in the air. All our Seidelberg team members joined together for an exciting evening of anticipation and hope before the very first World Cup kick off on African ground.

The World Cup Soccer Night events are fun-filled with traditional German food like Leberkaese, Sausages and Salads. Our guests can cool down their Soccer Fever with some delicious fresh draft beer, enjoy a tasty wood fired oven Pizza or a flame grilled Beef Seidelburger while they experience the excitement of their  first glance of the soccer matches.
 
Our tasting room has seen a steady increase in high spirited international guests over the past few weeks. You could see the excitement in their faces and the feedback that we got so far in terms of their South Africa experiences , here in the Western Cape and up in the Northern Provinces, were  all very positive stories, which can make us all very proud. They have also had very good things to say about our South African wines! 

 


Another very exciting moment of this World Cup Life - Jürgen Klinsmann, German football manager and former football player and who managed the German national team to a third-place finish in the 2006 World Cup/Germany, visited our farm. The owner of Seidelberg Wine Estate, Roland Seidel, entertained Jürgen Klinsmann, Folrian König (German sport reporter and commentator of all World Cup Matches at on one of the most popular German private TV-channels, RTL) and friends throughout the day. He guided the cellar tour to explain the intricacies of the winemaking process, sampled our award winning wines in the cosy underground VIP-tasting room to quench the thirst for knowledge and finished the afternoon with some cold snacks from our Deli Counter in a relaxed and informal atmosphere.

All in all a memorable Seidelberg afternoon.

As you can read, those) 4 unforgettable weeks of the year are unique and moments will be shared where everyone will be emotionally truly connected  in the football spirit.


Even for non-football fans it is definitely worth it to come around and have a look and get into the Ayoba-feeling at Seidelberg. By the way, look out for the 33 barrels on top of our pergola!!!

 WINE PROMOTION @ VAUGHAN JOHNSON

Wine is an experience as we all know;, an experience you should share also with others and especially with our current World Cup visitors from all over the world. And where is the boiling point where all national and international visitors gather together in Cape Town? At the V&A Waterfront.
Therefore, our highly trained Wine Consultants are doing some Wine Promotions at Vaughan Johnson Wine Shop. Owned by Vaughan Johnson, who has over 30 years experience selling fine Cape wines to Cape Town's thirsty wine lovers, and has more than 5000 South African wines available.

 

 

 

This well, pre-selected offering of locally produced wines, represents a good cross-section and certainly does not make it  easier  for wine drinkers to find their wine of preference!

For this reason we  decided to send our friendly and very well knowledgeable Seidelberg staff to Vaughan’s shop on a regular basis to promote our wines and to make the choice easier for the customers. We are presenting a selected range of our wines, for example, one of our most popular wines sellers on the Estate, the Seidelberg Shiraz. A complex wine which shows flavours of spicy cloves and a hint of pepper on the nose with dark berries and stewed fruits on the palate. For our wine lovers, who like it a little bit  sweeter, you should taste our De Leuwen Jagt Golden Harvest, a charming semi-sweet wine with tropical fruit salad flavours. An ideal food companion for curry or spicy dishes.

Come around and pop in at Vaughan Johnson Wine Shop, we’d love to hear what you think about our wines. For all the guests from overseas who are interested in ordering our wines instead of carrying them all the way back home, you may contact  our European direct distribution channel Hellavine.

The Fabulous Bakery

The Fabulous Bakery

Bakery

Forquite some  time,  we have been thinking about exploring new offerings on our farm to compliment the already established general restaurant business as well as the Daily Deli Counter. A bakery was a perfect addition to the other offerings.  We wanted to establish a bakery which fits exactly into our farm concept – our goal: to provide our local customers with classic German breads and French patisseries, and achieve consistent top quality.

Breads, which we make and sell ourselves throughout the day, and present in a warm, friendly and cosy atmosphere.  - The Fabulous Bakery was born. 

On the 19th of June this year Seidelberg’s Fabulous Bakery was official opened and our simply recipe is proving to be a great success and is gaining in popularity daily! By baking all our products each day,  our farm-style store  is filled with the delicious smells of freshly baking breads all day. 

 



 

All our products are made from the finest ingredients –  German spring water and German wheat has been used to make the breads, to ensure a unique taste experience, as well as to guarantee food quality of the highest standard. From Croissants, Bread Rolls and Pain Au Chocolat to Danish Pastries, Farmer’s Loaf, Traditional French Baguettes and Olive Ciabatta.  Our products are meant to bring a new bread experience to you at Seidelberg and into the winelands.

If you are fortunate enough to pass through the Paarl wine region, stop by at our De Leuwen Jagt Restaurant at Seidelberg Wine Estate and let our smiling staff help you to choose from our selection of delicious goodies.
