It’s been decades since I first knew and loved Beerenberg products and it’s long been on my bucket list to visit the farm. At last! A road trip took us through Hahndorf and we stopped in for morning tea and a very thorough perusal of the shop ;-) Hubby chose a double scoop of the delicious dairy icecream for his treat and I had the Queen Scone – a beautiful, and very generously sized, heart shaped scone that was light and fluffy, with four different Beerenberg jams. I guessed them to be strawberry, raspberry, blueberry and apricot. A generous swirl of cream and a pretty dusting of pink icing sugar completed the treat. The coffee was good and the service was nice, though the prices in the cafe are a bit steep. The shop was amazing – I was in seventh heaven! I may have left with quite a collection of goodies and can’t wait to get the chance to visit again one day.

The 4 of us booked and attended A Taste of Beerenberg session. These sessions can be booked several time a week and run for 45 minutes [nominally] . They are a tasting of a savoury platter with a drink [including wine] followed by a very tasty scone with your choice of jam, and cream. The tasting is hosted by an employee although she was only in the room part of the time. I found it all a little bit pedestrian to be honest, but the other 3 really enjoyed it. There were another couple booked into the same session as ours and they were seated at a seperate table. The goodie bag that everyone was given at the end of the session contained a number of Beerenberg products and that much appreciated. The 30 per person cost was a little high I think, even with the goodie bag.

Visited this morning for breakfast and to buy a few goodies for Christmas. All three of us ordered something different for breakfast and we all said how lovely the food was. I can recommend the toasted sandwich with field mushrooms, cheese and spinach with pesto and a blue cheese dressing. Gorgeous

Easy to find, plenty of parking. Our party of adults spent about 2.5hrs. Strawberry picking: The day we went was just right, bright but not too sunny or hot. The strawberries were nice and ripe, with plenty available. Cafe: The rest of the group ordered drinks and piece of cake, those with a sweet tooth enjoyed their order. I opted to try their ice cream instead, the Beerenberg orange blossom honey ice cream was tasty as was their strawberry sorbet (dairy free). Restrooms were clean, although there was a long queue (to be expected as it was quite busy). Shop: Before leaving, we bought a lot of mini jams and gift sets for souvenirs. A nice range of preserves and condiments, plenty of stock. Staff were lovely and helpful, and provided cardboard boxes for our purchases.

Café: tried the Beef and Burgundy Stockpot Pie which as per the pix, comes with sauce+salad and fries. All delicious and service was fast. Pot of Ginger+Lemongrass Tea = $24.90. Shop: while here it’s advisable to check out the Jams, etc. there are limited run and exclusive new flavour jams that are not available in retail stores.

A big thank you to the team at Beerenberg Farm! We celebrated our sister Yvette’s 80th birthday there today and the staff could not have been more helpful. They helped us put up huge number 80 balloons and didn’t mind me fussing around with table decorations. We all enjoyed our meal and I organised waffles topped with ice cream and other assorted delights as the birthday cake. It was a truly delightful afternoon and one we’ll remember for a long time. Such a wonderful place to go to enjoy the ambience and the food and I cannot commend the staff enough on their customer service and attention to detail.

Absolutely wonderful high tea We experienced the high tea and it was wonderful. The quality of the food was first class, with delicious flavours and locally sourced ingredients. The staff were so lovely and the chef came out and spoke to every table, which was a nice touch. There was a nice balance between sweet and savoury and you can take home any leftovers. We were so full we didn’t need dinner. We have experienced high tea at the Ritz in London, and Beerenberg was on a par,and in some cases better. My only small and minor suggestion for improvement would be having bottles of table water available to top up yourself, rather than keep asking the lovely staff for top ups. It would also be nice to have available more than one tea or coffee included in the price. Very minor points and didn’t detract from our afternoon. We will definitely be booking in again.
