Jacques Vonderstein, manager at The Farmyard outside Polokwane, shows off a first - a 2008 white wine from Roodeberg.

Roodeberg has traditionally been known for their excellent red wines, so, to stock the first white wine is an exciting moment for The Farmyard. The wine can be enjoyed on its own or with salads, white meats and a variety of fish dishes.

Farmyard is also making good progress with the new theatre that is planned to open in September 2009. The theatre will be a welcome addition to the cultural scene in Polokwane.

The Farmyard is now open on Thursday evenings for sundowner cocktails and supper in the garden. If you act quickly, you can enjoy a last summer evening outside before winter sets in.
