Snoekbraai at the Paul Sauer Cellar

The famous Kanonkop snoek braai

Our vintage cellar and its courtyard host family-styled functions — end-of-year celebrations, birthdays and get-togethers — built around a traditional snoek braai hosted by the Krige family themselves.

This is the oldest habit on the farm. Snoek has been braaied over open coals here for as long as anyone can remember — in the 1980s Johann and Paul packed the fish into a bag and took them to Johannesburg to braai for customers. The fires are still built in halved drums and fed with dry vineyard stumps; the fish still goes on butterflied, basted with dry white wine, olive oil and lemon juice, and comes off in six or eight minutes. Guests sit together at long wooden tables under the oaks. Strangers rarely stay strangers.

• — Optional cheese platter starter
• — Snoek off the fire with fresh bread & homemade grape jam
• — Caramelised sweet potatoes & salad

Minimum 20 guests. Subject to Krige family availability. No walk-ins.
