Die Kerkmuis

In the heart of the Upington community, lies Die Kerkmuis Restaurant. Situated in a residential area on the main road to connecting towns, this is the perfect location to experience the true essence of Kalahari dinning. Whether you are a visitor passing through Upington or a local in Upington, Die Kerkmuis Restaurant promises to help you build precious memories on your journey ahead.

The Story behind Die Kerkmuis:

A church mouse has a hard life…living mainly from breadcrumbs and sweet wine which are only available once every three months with communion. Some Sundays there is cake-and-tea after church which at least helps to alleviate the drought between each communion, but from Monday you must fast again until next Sunday.

Each cellar also has a ”Kerkmuis”

• That keg or tank that everyone forgot about after the previous harvest;

• Or the wine for which there was no space on the bus to the Veritas Awards;

• An experiment with a new yeast that the winemaker is too scared to taste;

• Or a bottle of wine which after the traumatic shock of bottling, suddenly six months later tastes much better.

Either way, we all know some “Kerkmuise” that follow a life of trouble and yet strive to deserve much better.

With “Die Kerkmuis” brand, we pay tribute to these wines that actually deserve much more recognition but was never given the chance. Although these wines do not have the Cellar Master Series’ label on their shoulder, they are not shy to compete with the best. Their price point is much lower, as befits a mouse, but they offer

excellent value for money. We all stumble a bit during tough times. Therefore, in the spirit of each of us who now have to turn our pennies around to draw value from life, Orange River Cellars jerked “Die Kerkmuis” from the cheap seats so that we can end tough times on a high note and celebrate life at a fair price.

The experience at Die Kerkmuis

With mouth-watering food, exciting wine pairings, exquisite wine tastings and an outside play area for the kids, Die Kerkmuis is the best local experience for the whole family.

Here you experience the unique wines of Orange River Cellars and build your moments with the whole family. Your moment, Our wine.

Iemand het genoem dat haar aartappels nie lekker gaar wou word nie. Ek sal voorstel dat jy dit eers in blokkies sny - bietjie in die mikrogolf pre-cook tot amper gaar, dan in die olie braai.

The rise of the QR code

Bridge the gap between the online and offline worlds with QR codes.

Increase your brand awareness, generate more leads, and enhance customer engagement.

Did you know?

With dynamic QR Codes, you can edit the QR Code data as many times as required and get access to scan analytics to better optimize your marketing campaigns. This mean you can place on QR code in the directory, but modify the content anytime, even after printing.

E.g restaurants can update menu’s, businesses can display latest specials, etc.

The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly increased QR code usage in South Africa. According to a survey conducted by World Wide Worx in 2020, 52% of South African respondents reported having scanned a QR code in the past.

Businesses place these QR Codes in strategic locations and on products for consumers to scan using their smartphones and move them through the marketing funnel by giving consumers access to the right information at the right time.
