Food And Drink

Many people choose self-catering accommodation when they visit McGregor, but even if a traditional braai keeps you going most nights, it's good to get out from time to time. 

McGregor has a selection of places to eat, and also shops where you can pick up provisions for those occasions when you do want to cater for yourself.  And Wine; now that's one thing you just can't forget around here!  If you'd like to know more about wines, there are some excellent sites for you to visit.  We particularly like  Wines of South Africa and Grape.co.za

Local Food and Wine Producers

   
The McGregor Winery

Dating back to 1949, when wine farmers in the area decided to erect a cellar for their combined harvest, the award-winning McGregor Winery should not be missed by any wine-loving visitor.
Wolfdoring Wines

Producing high quality wine on a small scale, musician and Garagiste John Hargreaves makes his acclaimed Wolfdoring Red Berry at his home.  With hand-picking and a gentle approach, John retains the inherent berry flavour in his wine.

Self-Catering

   
For the self-catering enthusiast, McGregor offers a range of shops. The basics are readily available at the two supermarkets, while specialty shops offer a range of local produce. The butcher's is rightly famed for its boerewors, regarded by many as one of the best in the country, while the McGregor Winery has a selection of delicious wines at very reasonable prices.
   
And don't forget - if you've opted for self-catering accommodation but don't feel like doing the cooking, you can order delicious country fare delivered piping hot to your door from Janet Forrester. Janet caters for vegetarian as well as meat-eating palates, concocts mouthwatering desserts and will also supply cakes, sandwiches, biscuits or frozen meals which you can reheat at your convenience. Contact her at 073 175 5514 for further information.
