As the seasons change, so do we here at Louisvale.  In order to keep things always fresh and new, we change our menu on a monthly basis.  The team at Louisvale focusses on producing fresh and home made dishes to tantalize the taste buds.

Located in the 100 year old Manor house, this is a tasting room with a twist.  Adjacent to the newly built Venue, we have taken a contemporary approach to the newly refurbished tasting room.

As South Africa has a rich cultural history, it is only appropriate that Architect Christof Albertyn delved into this aspect for his inspiration. As Louisvale is nestled in the foothills of the 3 million-year old Cape Folded Mountains, a different approach was taken for the newly built function area that is adjacent to a hundred year old Cape Dutch homestead. The first manmade structures in the area were created by the Nomadic Khoekhoen.  Their domed structures were made from Taaibos laths, covered with woven reed mats and animal skins.  During the winter months they lived inland, closed to the water sources and during the summer months they moved to the coastal zone where they lived off seafood such as Perlemoen and Allekrik. The Colonialists from Europe arrived in the area during the 17^th Century.  They brought with them vines, Oak trees and built white lime washed, plastered houses with gables reflecting patterns from their home countries.
