HIGH SEASON AT ALLÉE BLEUE WINE ESTATE

Posted on 07. Sep, 2011 by BottlePlatePillow in 2) Plate News, 4) General News, 4) Other Specials, Allee Bleue

STRATEGICALLY positioned in the heart of the Cape winelands, Allée Bleue Wine Estate is a perfect choice for a breakfast and lunch stop-over on the wine route, whether it’s a light snack or a more serious food and wine pairing experience. Surrounded by majestic mountains views and the towering blue gum trees after which it is named, the estate invites visitors to relax in a choice of stylish settings to enjoy its award-winning wines, affordable Cape cuisine and unique designer interiors.

A new summer menu at the reworked Wine Tasting Courtyard, devised by Allée Bleue’s Executive Chef, Glenn Ferus, offers deceptively simple options  including delicious Tapas, cheese platters and Flammkuchen (‘French pizza’ from Alsace) which make for great sharing dishes.

For something more substantial, the Wine Tasting Courtyard menu has a ‘Steak Corner’ offering a 250g prime cut of meat – either beef fillet, sirloin or rib eye, or lamb loin chops – served with a choice of gourmet butters and flavoured salts, a baked potato, French fries or herb salad, and a glass of estate wine. For only R115 per person, this presents exceptional value for money.

The Wine Tasting Courtyard at Allée Bleue is open daily, from 10h00 to 17h00. On Sundays, live music is performed at the Wine Tasting Courtyard from midday until 15h00.

There’s also Bistro Allée Bleue where Chef Glenn Ferus and his team prepare scrumptious breakfasts from 8am daily as well as classical bistro lunch fare.
