Vergelegen - Nguni Cafe

Loading player...
Brace yourselves, burger enthusiasts, as a tantalising treat is about to take your taste buds on a wild adventure! The Vergelegen Wine Estate in Somerset West has relaunched its famous Nguni Café pop-up, an extraordinary culinary experience in the great outdoors.
Set against the spectacular backdrop of the Hottentots Holland mountain range, this limited-time gem is installed in a 400-ha farm field. Guests can view the estate’s magnificent Nguni herd, numbering around 400 indigenous cattle, which graze freely on the green pastures adjacent to the pop-up.
“We’ve installed a glass conservatory, flanked by hay bales, and furnished it to enhance the Nguni theme,” says Vergelegen MD Wayne Coetzer. “It’s a welcoming blend of country charm and modern flair. It certainly promises to change the way you perceive the humble hamburger.”
We chat to Wayne about this lovely pop up.
