Discover culinary magic at Cathedral Cellar with Chef Mynhardt Joubert
In the heart of Paarl, Cathedral Cellar stands as a symbol of grandeur and history in the world of fine dining. This historic venue, originally built in 1930 by KWV, boasts an architectural marvel that includes a breathtaking barrel-vaulted roof and stained-glass windows reminiscent of a grand cathedral. It is home to colossal wine barrels, some of the largest in the world. These barrels themselves are works of art, intricately carved with the history of the South African wine industry, adding a unique artistic dimension to this remarkable space.
In 2018, Cathedral Cellar opened its doors as a private dining and events venue, taking on a new life under the custodianship of Chef Mynhardt Joubert. The transformation was nothing short of spectacular.
