Our valley’s cool climate and high altitude offer vineyards the perfect growing conditions. Cold, rainy winters are followed by summers that bring cool sea breezes.
In the vineyards, the grapes’ ripening time is long and slow – yielding crops that have a low pH, a natural acidity and a wide range of lavours that are perfectly balanced.

SALT of PAUL CLUVER
SALT at Paul Cluver is a restaurant for the senses where every dish has a touch of salt ingrained in it. There may well be other restaurants that obsess about salt as we do, but our aim is to not only keep this to ourselves, but to inspire everyone who dines with us. We want others to become salt aicionados and start a movement to pay homage to one of earth’s oldest and most vital minerals.
The lunch menu takes you through a journey of Salt, from dry-curing to fermenting, brining, pickling, preservation – and the list goes on. An all new á la carte style menu gives you freedom of choice, with prices ranging from R90 to R200 a dish.
Trading hours: Tuesday to Sunday 08:30 – 16:00. Closed on Monday.
