<p>Duncan and his team from Cotage Fromage looked after the food side, Susan and her team provided some wines on tap plus the &#8216;Feddeerweiser&#8217;, Anneke and her team previewed the new releases and two bands provided lots of entertainment. Thanks to all who worked so hard to make this possible and of course to our guests who seemed to love the day! Until next year when we celebrate Vrede en Lust&#8217;s 325th anniversary!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We are very excited about the upcoming launch of the new Tasting Menu! The <a href="http://www.vnl.co.za/restaurant/tasting-menu/" target="_blank">Cotage Fromage Tasting Men</a>u is the result of a many requests for a comprehensive and special tasting experience, where top dishes from the Cotage Fromage are carefully paired with the delicous Vrede en Lust wines.</p>
<p><div id="attachment_2917" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 630px"><a href="http://www.vnl.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/VL-Food-002LR.jpg"><img src="http://www.vnl.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/VL-Food-002LR-620x412.jpg" alt="Steamed Wantons" title="Steamed Wantons" width="620" height="412" class="size-large wp-image-2917" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Steamed Wantons</p></div><br />
During this Spring, Duncan and Susan put together a 6 course tasting menu that is ideal for those guests who have a bit more time available and with a shared passion for fine food and wine. There are two versions of the tasting menu: Regular or Vegetarian. Each menu consists of 6 smaller portions that is served with a half-glass of wine specially selected by the Vrede en Lust winemaker, Susan Erasmus.</p>
<p>Six of Chef Duncan Doherty’s most flavoursome dishes, paired with 6 perfectly matching Vrede en Lust wines for only R299 (£23 or €27 or $37!) per person. </p>
