  • Iced coffee or homemade lemon iced tea

If you’re looking to enjoy the estate’s wine, the menu also has generous antipasti and cheese platters. Breakfast or brunch requires a decadent sweet touch. In that case, there are a dozen choices, from crème caramel, red velvet cake, and sachertorte to baked cheesecake, carrot cupcakes, chocolate mousse cake, and homemade ice cream and sorbet.

Postcard Cafe is also an ideal spot for lunch, with dishes designed for guests to linger longer, such as:

  • Asian chicken and rice noodles
  • Beef fillet with ratatouille niçoise
  • Teriyaki burger
  • Red lentil dahl
  • Pork bobotie

The menu features expertly prepared dishes for a lazy family meal paired with the estate’s wines.

Other wines include a unique blend of four white varietals, the Petite Sirah and the rosé, which sips beautifully on a sunny day.
