THE TERRACE RESTAURANT Wine is sunlight, held together by water White Wine Day on the 3rd of August celebrates the rarity of white wines that are rarely if ever truly white in color, but instead are beautiful varieties of strawyellow, gold, or yellow-green. Gather your friends and make your way to the Terrace to enjoy your favorite vintages of white wine throughout the day.
Wines of the Month
The dark ruby red Durbanville Hills Pinotage is a medium bodied well-balanced wine with silky tannins and lingering flavors of sweet wood spice, dark cherries, plums and undertones of vanilla. It pairs well with mild to hot spiced dishes.
Or The lime green Durbanville Hills Chardonnay has aromas of orange blossom, pineapples, citrus and yellow peaches. It fills the mouth with minerality peaches, winter melon, kiwi fruit that end with a sweet sensation on the tongue. It pairs well with seafood and creamy dishes. “Wine makes daily living easier, less hurried with fewer tensions and more tolerance.” Benjamin Franklin Man cannot live on wine alone so pair one of our wines of the month with a meal from the à la carte menu or with our vast lunch or dinner buffet at Kshs. 3,250. Our themed Lamu Tamu night is still a Thursday staple that you will return to week after week.
