Bennie Avenant, die aantreklike wynmaker van Yonder Hill, het ons in die veld ontmoet. Hy het ons gewys waar om te parkeer vir die Potjiekosaand, wat deel was van die Helderberg Wynfeesprogram. Op Yonder Hill se feesprogram was ook olywe, eet, wyne vertikaal proe, Franse kombinasies probeer en daar was ‘n Sondagkerkdiens in die kelder. So parkeer ons toe in die veld vir die potjiekos; vastrap musiek weerklinkend oor die werf en die plaashonde Zulu en Tokio (?) wat die feesgangers welkom heet. Ons drink salige rooi Cabernet saam met die sonsondergang. Spoedig word daar opgeskep vanuit die massiewe boeppenspot – lekker geurige lamsvleis met botterskorsie, dik stukke aartappel en baie sous. Dan nog ook Franse brood, snoekpatee, tapenade EN ‘n glas rooi wyn. En dit alles vir R30 per persoon! En gepraat van winskopies, Yonder Hill se wyne is ook baie goed geprys en is uitstekende waarde vir geld. Later word die borde teruggeskuif en word daar in alle erns gedans – tussendeur die dansery met sy verloofde, skink Bennie wyn en kuier saam met die Naude-familie met al die feesgangers. Nie net is Bennie ‘n puik gasheer en wynskinker nie, hy is duidelik ook baie fotogenies – die foto’s op die Helderberg Wynfees se webtuiste getuig daarvan!

After completing our challenge in record time, Bennie did a tasting with us and even provided us with some “drink safe” tips. If you are planning a big night out, drink a teaspoon of Olive Oil to line you stomach. We immediately tried some of Yonder Hill’s Olive Oil and it went down extremely well. They have some yummy well priced wines as well. Be on the look out for their 2009 Merlot and Shiraz. Great value at around R30 a bottle.
What a great spot to become a regular! see you guys soon Reviewed by Stephan Steyn - 27 September 2009 at 17:52

Afterwards we tasted some more wines and lined our stomachs with yummy snacks provided by the Yonder Hill team. The snacks were true life savers, cause we still had one more stop before the final destination. Thanks for a great time guys!
