OVERTURE THE GEM OF HIDDEN VALLEY

With Bertus Basson

Overture is the brain child of Bertus Basson and Craig Cormack, perched overlooking the incomparable vistas of Hidden Valley in Stellenbosch. An airy, welcoming restaurant where Bertus wields his baton with utter precision, meticulous presentation and superlative taste. Here his focus is on the lighter style of pork, an ingredient that happens to be his passion.
