HIDDEN VALLEY WINES & OVERTURE RESTAURANT have tied the knot to offer the most exclusive weddings possible. The combination of Chef Basson’s ability to tickle and tantalise the tastebuds, and the breathtaking views of the Hidden Valley estate, makes ours a wedding package to rival the very best.
Situated on the Helderberg mountain range, Hidden Valley Wines offers a unique and breathtaking view of Stellenbosch. Owner and qualified winemaker Dave Hidden purchased the farm in 1998, and gradually crafted it into the state-of-the art cellar it is today.
The Wine Tasting Room and Restaurant are both available as function venues. We can comfortably seat 80 guests indoors (or a maximum of 60 guests with dancing). The Tasting Room/Restaurant opens out onto a Terrace that overlooks the Helderberg mountain range and Stellenbosch. The olive grove adds a dash of Mediterranean character and the fynbos around our dam reflects the diversity of our wonderful South African landscape.
The amazing textures presented at the cellar, from stone and wood to stainless steel, require minimal decoration - allowing for extra funds to be spent on the wedding cuisine. Multi-award-winning Overture Restaurant offers the freshest local fare, paired to perfection with the Hidden Valley wines. (The menu changes every day, in order to allow our chef to satisfy his creative flair!) This is a whole that’s greater than the sum of its two parts - and isn’t that what marriage should be about?
Our range of wines complements our menu, as well as the environment in which it is enjoyed. At Hidden Valley Wines we strive to offer a unique venue, as well as service tailored to suit your needs. Barely a year after opening its doors, and hot on the heels of its Diners Club Platinum award, Overture was voted fourth best restaurant in South Africa at the annual Prudential Eat Out Awards. Regarded as the Oscars of the local restaurant scene, the Eat Out Awards are judged by critics who share a passion for gourmet food. Scores are given on 20 criteria, including value for money, service, wine list and ambience, in addition to the food itself - ensuring that patrons can expect an optimal experience.
The judges lauded Overture for its local, fresh and seasonal foods and its degustation approach that makes a five-course lunch “entirely possible”. The service was rated highly and the “meticulously neat open kitchen” was seen as a great addition to the ambience.
