10 oysters and a bottle of Pierre Jourdan Brut Sauvage [or any other bottle of Pierre Jourdan bubbly excluding the Reserve] for just R195.

Join us this weekend, at Haute Cabriere, for Franschhoek Uncorked!

Celebrate in style with us, naked oysters and Pierre Jourdan Cuvée Brut Sauvage.

On Saturday, the 4th of September we are open from 10am to 3pm. We’ll be closing two hours early because our Tanja will be getting married in the Cabriere cellar later in the evening.

On Sunday we are open from 10am to 5pm.

The Freshly Ground lead singer recently declared herself a huge fan of Haute Cabrière. We think this is great because, as luck would have it, we are also big fans of Freshly Ground.

They were out to visit us, just before the World Cup, with Top Billing so you might have caught something about it on TV? It was a wonderful day filled with fun, laughter, the very best views in Franschhoek, Pierre Jourdan and - of course - sabrage.

We are delighted to announce that the June/July 2010 winner of Haute Cabrière, Pierre Jourdan and me case of Pierre Jourdan is Jolien De Keulenaer.  Congratulations!

If you think you have what it takes to win a case of Pierre Jourdan this August please add it to the Haute Cabrière, Pierre Jourdan and me Facebook fan page and get your friends to vote.

Remember the person with the most likes and comments on a photo uploaded during August - by the end of August - wins the case. Good luck!

I think that my brother Tamo, our Cape Town Haute Cabriere ambassador, summed-up this past Bastille festival best … ”it was wild, it was fun and it was the most celebratory Franschhoek Bastille Festival ever! There were moments when I felt as if I was back in France in Springtime. Add to that the feeling of celebrating Madiba’s birthday and it was an experience impossible to beat!”

In fact over the weakend we enjoyed terrific Pierre Jourdan sales and, as one friend remarked, it looked like every Bastille visitor had a bottle of Pierre Jourdan in her / his hand.

If you were drinking Pierre Jourdan or Haute Cabriere this Bastille thank you for your support. If not, never fear, there is always next year!

Head out to Franschhoek this weekend and join us at the 2010 Bastille Festival. The weather is going to be fantastic so you have absolutely NO excuse!

Congratulations to Jolien De Keulenaer’s father who is our May / June 2010 Haute Cabrière Facebook Fan Page Competition winner.

If you haven’t yet won a case to Pierre Jourdan, through our Facebook Fan Page Competition, you could still do so this month.

All you have to do is:

1. Upload a picture of you enjoying a bottle of Pierre Jourdan
2. Get your friends to comment and/or like it.
3. The picture with the most comments and likes, at midnight on the 31st of July 2010, wins 6 bottles of Pierre Jourdan.

Good luck!

When the Cape Town Stadium officially opened Haute Cabrière was in attendance. Because - as everyone knows - it’s simply not a event without a bottle of Pierre Jourdan, the Haute Cabrière sabre and Achim von Arnim!

There is the most beautiful snow covering the mountains surrouding Franschhoek! Apparently the maximum temperature we’re likely to see today is 11 degrees. Which is significantly warmer than yesterday when we experienced a maximum temperature of 8 degrees!

This is excellent weather for our sleeping vines and, I suppose, if you have crackling fire and a bottle of Haute Cabriere Pinot Noir it’s also excellent weather for you! If, however, you don’t have that bottle of Haute Cabriere Pinot Noir you can order it from our online Wine Store. This means that you don’t have to leave the comfort, or warmth, of your home to restock your wine stash.

We’re running a delicious restaurant special at the moment:

Enjoy a two course meal for only R120 per person and three course meal for only R150 per person. This special is available Monday - Friday and it runs until the 12th of June 2010.

We look forward to seeing you!
