Our Wines

Lupa made a special trip to Paarl to meet with the award-winning winemakers at Fairview, who have been recognised both locally and internationally for their innovation and proactive approach to winemaking. The Lupa Sauvignon Blanc, Rosé, Merlot and Novello Rosso are four well-structured wines that pair perfectly with our delicious food or can be savoured on their own. Expert vintners helped hand-select and blend these premium wines that we know our guests at Lupa will enjoy.

Our new go-to spot! We found out that Lupa has a very cool special where you can get a starter as well as a main for R199. You have an option of selected pastas or pizzas for main and the starters have a few really nice options. We have had the Arancini Balls before, very average unfortunately but we did also try the Italian Nachos and wow, those have been absolutely incredible!! Mains, the pizza base is so thin it melts in your mouth, absolutely incredible. The pastas are also really tasty and big potion sizes! I have tried the Zingara Pasta, most probably my favorite! 2nd best would be the Pork and Beef meatball pasta! I really struggled to eat the Penne Oriental, wasn’t great but it could just be an acquired taste! You also can’t go wrong with their chicken Alfredo! Their frozen Aperol Cocktail is 10/10. We tried their Cremino Al Ciccolato, very interesting. I think there is just a lot of different flavors so my taste buds were very overwhelmed. The chocolate tasted burnt and nothing like Nutella. Added photos of our food because I assumed we all eat with out eyes!! The service has always been lovely! Will be back!
