Visit Fairview to taste and buy its internationally acclaimed wines and award-winning homemade, farmstyle cheeses. This is definitely a reason to prolong your sojourn on this friendly farm on the slopes of Paarl Mountain with its views across the winelands to Cape Town landmark Table Mountain.
The Goatshed is an informal Mediterranean-style eatery offering light meals and lunches, so-named for Fairview’s cheeky herd of some 600 Swiss Saanen, Toggenberg and British Alphine goats, bred for their milk. The Goatshed menu’s main feature is an array of freshly baked breads and bagels to complement the some 25 different cheeses produced in Fairview’s cheesery.
The choice of cheese, made from both goat’s- and cow’s milk, includes popular Camembert, Brie and cream cheeses; Roquefort and Gorgonzola style cheeses; and speciality cheeses such as Chevin (with garlic and parsley or sun-dried tomato and basil) and Fairview’s own recipes such as the Boland Blue fusion of cheddar and blue-veined cheese.
To accompany this mouthwatering fare, visitors are able to choose from the full range of Fairview, Spice Route and the hugely popular Goats do Roam wines. The full portfolio of wines are available at cellar-door prices, with a selection available in 200ml carafes.
Fairview has been producing fine wines under its own label since 1974, and is also the home of Spice Route wines, Agostinelli, and the quirky Goats do Roam range. Always innovative, Charles Back and his team continue to produce top wines, while maintaining the high standards that they have become renowned for.
