Kleinood Farm & Winery

Kleinood Farm & Winery was our first-ever table in Africa last year, and we haven’t stopped thinking about it. This little farm grows wine grapes and olive trees on the side of Helderberg Mountain, just outside of Cape Town. Their name means “something small and precious”, and we’ve never seen a better argument that good things come in small packages – from the soft scent of perfume roses wafting through the air to their house verjus, honey and olive oil that all compliment the meal, to the surrounding mountains that turn purple with the setting sun. There are so many good things tucked into this place. We can’t wait to return for another visit, and we are excited to have Chef Jenny Ward from Makers Landing back in the field kitchen for the second time around. This time, she is bringing a friend and collaborator along with her to create a feast highlighting the multicultural heritage of South Africa.
