Christmas Day at Rhebokskloof Estate
Friday, 25 December 2026 | Paarl Winelands
Christmas lunch tastes even better when someone else cooks.
Join us at Rhebokskloof Estate this Christmas Day for a relaxed celebration with family and friends. This year, you can choose from three festive dining experiences: a three-course lunch at El Picoteo, a traditional Christmas feast at LUME, or a gourmet picnic on the lawns with live music.
All that’s left is to decide how you’d like to spend your Christmas.
A Festive Christmas Lunch at El Picoteo
12:00 to 15:00
If Christmas means gathering around a beautifully laid table and taking your time over a good meal, El Picoteo has just the menu for the occasion.
Enjoy a specially prepared three-course Christmas lunch, starting with a choice of smoked salmon roulade, slow-braised brisket or baked brinjal and mozzarella.
For mains, choose from a generous festive meat platter featuring gammon, lamb and chicken; a seafood platter with prawns, calamari, mussels and hake; or a Mediterranean-inspired vegetarian platter.
Dessert brings a choice of poached pear panna cotta or a rich dark chocolate and orange pudding.

A Traditional Christmas Feast at LUME
For those who love a traditional Christmas spread, LUME is bringing all the festive favourites to the table this year.
Enjoy a generous Christmas feast featuring freshly baked breads, a selection of festive salads, and a carving station serving rosemary-and-garlic-roasted beef, Christmas-glazed gammon, and herb-roasted chicken. There’s also apricot-glazed pickled tongue and the catch of the day.
Alongside the mains, you’ll find all the trimmings, including golden roast potatoes, creamed spinach, honey-roasted butternut, savoury rice and corn on the cob.
And no Christmas feast would be complete without dessert. LUME’s festive dessert table includes chocolate and peppermint tart, traditional fruit trifle and cheesecake with berry compote.
Come hungry. There’ll be plenty to enjoy.
