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 served seven days a week, while dinner is available on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings from November through May.

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

To ensure the highest quality experience, Tasting Room reservations are required for groups of eight or more guests.

Guided wine tastings take precedence within the Tasting Room, as this remains the exclusive space dedicated to exploring the Ernie Els Wines range. Guests wishing to enjoy wine by the glass or bottle are warmly welcomed in the restaurant, where seating is offered subject to availability.

During peak periods, particularly throughout the summer season from December to February, visitor access to the estate may be limited once capacity has been reached. We therefore encourage guests to arrive early or make arrangements in advance where possible.

Please note that the Ernie Els Wines destination, including both the Restaurant and Tasting Room, is curated as an adult-oriented experience. Regrettably, we are unable to accommodate guests under the age of 12.

    Exquisite views, delicious food, excellent wine plus seamless service all amalgamated into an unequivocally world class experience. Such a highlight during my brother’s visit from New Zealand. Thanks team and hope to return to you soon!

    I would rate our meal at Ernie Els as one of my top 5 meals. We had the tasting menu and the dishes were perfectly balanced and visually very appealing. The setting is spectacular with beautiful views. This is a top notch winery and restaurant and I can highly recommend it.
