Eight Feet Village, Cape Town South Africa

You eat at Eight Feet Village on the crest of Bothmanskloof Pass, looking out over the Riebeek Valley. The restaurant serves meals with wines and coffee made by the four du Toit brothers, who grew up on Kloovenburg farm nearby. Their white blend mixes grenache blanc and chenin; the red combines syrah and mourvèdre, all from the family vineyards.

The dining room shares the pass with a shop selling the brothers' coffee beans and veldskoen shoes. The coffee comes in filter bags or as medium-roast beans. In good weather you can take your glass outside to the deck, where the view runs down the valley to Riebeek Kasteel.

The brothers farm at Kloovenburg, where their family has made wine since 1997. They still ferment in open tanks and press by hand, the way their father taught them. The restaurant is the newest part of the business, opened to pour those wines where people can see where they come from.
