Welcome to The Bistro & Tasting Room at Brookdale Estate!

Ours is a true Cinderella tale … What was once a forgotten vineyard, overgrown and underused, is now a significant site for exceptional wines, creative cuisine, and abundant beauty.

Here, delicious menus designed by seasoned Executive Chef, Gary Coetzee, are brought together with wines grown on the surrounding vines and vinified by our dynamic winemaking duo, Xander Sadie and Shanice du Preez.

We have selected a blend of varietals for our vineyards and locally-sourced ingredients for our menus that honour the region, whilst showcasing new ideas, combinations and techniques.

Sip, taste, savour and discuss our minimalistic, terroir-driven wines which accompany dishes inspired by international flavours and local produce.

The Bistro at Brookdale promises a relaxed, contemporary Cape Winelands dining experience. Expect beautiful, soulful dishes, enjoyed with our wines, while at the Tasting Room, you will sample the latest terroir-driven vintages from our cellar made in ever-evolving styles.

Open your mind, and palate, to the possibility of the Paarl Winelands and Stay Curious...

    The team was extremely attentive and unobtrusive. I am planning to visit again.

    It is a really special place. Beautiful landscaping and lush greenery as the road curve through the vineyards till you arrive at Bistro at Brookdale. On arrival we were warmly welcomed. Inside one could appreciate all the detail in everything. The staff was very professional! ....and the food..., really amazing: Beautiful presentation, the combination of different tastes, what a chef! (Even generous portions for fine dining...) I loved the variety on the menu and an incredible wine list. If you want to take that special person in your life, I will highly recommend Bistro at Brookdale! A memorable evening, thank you!
