When it comes to Gourmet tastings, there are very few hotels that deliver them with the finesse and fanfare of Granny Mouse Country House & Spa. True innovators when it comes to the food and beverage discipline, the Granny Mouse Team has once again re-invented their offering, with their new Gourmet Food and Wine tasting. A true culinary experience, a sensational trio of dishes awaits.

The pairing starts off with a decadent Bacon Cheese Cake paired with Hartenburg Riesling. The dish is a delectable combination of savoury and sweet with a chive biscuit base topped with an onion marmalade and crispy bacon discs, finished off with a crack of fresh black pepper. The Hartenburg Riesling perfectly complements the dish with its fruity, floral and citrus notes. The crisp acidity of the wine balances the richness of the cheese cake, leaving a refreshing aftertaste.

Next on the menu is the Beef Tartare paired with Stone Road Shiraz. The dish features flame-crusted spiced fillet tartare served on a melba toast disc with a mini toffee apple and pomme paille. The Stone Road Shiraz is a perfect match for the dish with its intense dark fruit flavours and spicy undertones. The wine’s bold tannins complement the richness of the beef and its smoky, charred flavour enhances the spice in the tartare.

The finale dish is the Baklava Cheesecake paired with an Espresso Amaretto Coffee Shot. This unique dessert features a deep-fried phyllo pastry nest with a candied nut sprinkle, cheese cake ice cream, finished with dried rose petals and shavings of dark chocolate. This exquisite dessert is paired with an Espresso Amaretto Coffee Shot, which balances the sweetness of the cheesecake while enhancing its rich flavours.
