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.

Tasting Room Reservations are only required for 8+ guests.

    Couldn’t understand why we couldn’t order off the tasting menu when we sat on the patio 20m from the tasting area.

    We had a wonderful experience at Ernie Els Wines. After lunch, we got engaged on the grass out front, so this place will always hold a very special place in our hearts. The setting, food, and atmosphere made the day unforgettable. Thank you for being part of such a meaningful memory for us.
