In the heart of the Franschhoek Valley, framed by the Mont Rochelle mountains, Backsberg invites you to experience the art of perfect pairing — where fine wine, thoughtful food, and rich heritage meet in effortless harmony.
From crisp, refreshing whites to elegant reds, Backsberg’s full wine portfolio is paired with a menu of Cape-inspired bites designed to elevate every sip. Expect inventive flavour pairings like smoked snoek samosas, trout spring rolls, fynbos salt crackers, and waterblommetjie wontons — all celebrating the region’s culinary roots. For the adventurous, the wine jelly pairing adds a playful twist, while generous grazing boards encourage sharing, conversation, and connection.
But the Backsberg experience goes beyond taste. The beautifully designed tasting room blends modern sophistication with deep respect for tradition. At its centre stands a century-old tractor — a proud relic from Backsberg’s original Paarl estate — surrounded by vintage winemaking tools and family heirlooms that trace the Back family’s remarkable winemaking story.
Sustainability sits at the heart of the space. Repurposed barrels have been transformed into glowing light fixtures, reclaimed wood reimagined as sleek furniture, and farm-sourced materials woven into the design — creating a warm, contemporary environment that still feels rooted in its land and legacy.
Whether you’re lingering over a leisurely tasting, enjoying a light meal, or simply soaking in the views with a glass of Chenin in hand, Backsberg offers a tranquil escape that embodies the essence of the Cape winelands — relaxed, generous, and deeply connected to place.
At Backsberg, every detail — from the glass to the plate to the view — is crafted for one purpose: to savour the perfect pairing of wine, food, and place. Don’t miss the curated shopping experience on 28-30 Nov and follow them for more upcoming events this season!
