On arrival, guests will enjoy the sunset views across the vineyards with a glass of Brookdale Mason Road wine and delicious bites of beef tataki, smoked snoek paté on crostini and onion tarte tatin with cashew nut cheese.
Executive chef Gary Coetzee and his kitchen brigade will then invite diners to their table to be spoiled with a first course of Scottish salmon, salmon roe and Thai curry yuzu dressing, followed by butter-poached crayfish tail, cauliflower, vanilla and lime risotto and Pernod foam.
Two main courses will follow: quail Ballantine, corn and bacon and citrus jus gras; and a 65-degree lamb rump served with root vegetable gratin, pea purée, broccolini and whisky and mint jus.
The feast will end on a decadent note with 14-carat gold chocolate gateaux with salted caramel gelato and Petit Fours.
Entertainment will be courtesy of Donné Violinist, known for her versatile technique and performances of electronic dance music and house tracks, as well as current hits.
As the countdown continues to midnight and the excitement mounts, corks will pop when Brookdale’s limited-release Mason Road Cap Classique is poured as the perfect glass of bubbles to toast the new year in style.
