Savour Refined Contemporary Cuisine in a Breathtaking Setting

Enjoy a relaxed yet sophisticated culinary experience in our open-plan restaurant, where floor-to-ceiling windows open onto a terrace with panoramic views of Stellenbosch and the Helderberg mountains. Our menu celebrates bold, seasonal flavours with a contemporary twist—crafted to complement our award-winning portfolio of Ernie Els wines.

Lunch is available 7 days a week.
Dinner is available on Thursday, Friday & Saturday Evenings, November – May annually.

For a more casual setting, guests are also invited to enjoy select dishes from our Grillworks menu available exclusively in the Tasting Room. Designed to pair beautifully with the Ernie Els wines, these dishes offer a flavour-forward, leisurely alternative in an equally scenic and welcoming space.

    Views were incredible and service top notch ! Highly recommend , one of the most beautiful places to be. Fantastic lamb , unfortunately the sides of carrots on yogurt were so oily it left a layer on your lips after each carrot. We will definitely be back.

    We recently had the pleasure of hosting our business partners for lunch at the Ernie Else Wine Estate, and the experience was truly exceptional from start to finish. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the estate’s stunning setting—rolling vineyards, beautifully landscaped gardens, and breathtaking views that set the perfect scene for a memorable afternoon. The food was a highlight in every sense. Each dish was thoughtfully prepared and the estate’s own wines complemented the meal beautifully. The service throughout was warm, attentive, and professional, ensuring that our group felt both valued and at ease. Our guests were thoroughly impressed, and the entire experience spoke of quality, taste, and genuine hospitality.
