Aan De Doorns Guesthouse
Since arriving in the valley I have learned that not only is the Worcester area the wine producing mother-load of the Western Cape, but the locals have a knack for producing hard to resist fresh produce and homemade delicacies to write home about! Just this past month I attended two such showcases the Worcester wine and Olive route’s “Best of Both” market at Klein Plasie and the “Pret and Plaas ” in the Nuy valley. What a delicious platform to meet and mingle with the locals, and as you go sample what is undeniably mouth-watering, homemade excellence! In the tasting mix is always wine and “Gemudligkeid” as my native German homies would say.
So I discovered that Kwaggaskloof members have a few culinary secrets up their sleeves: Ronel from Scherpenheuwel (her catering skills assure success to each function on the Breede Otter, Danelle and her family from Rivierplaas (“vat-saam-vir-jou-familie” preserves and baked goods); Sarah from Oryx house and the famous Olyfberg (with anything Olive including beauty products)to mention a few.
Every time I attend these markets I make new friends and get that warm fuzzy feeling when I experience old fashioned hospitality in the truest sense of the word. I cannot wait for the “Pure Boland” market every first Saturday of the month; I always take the car with lots of space, because for a little you get a whole load full!
