The Kraal Restaurant at Joostenberg Wine Estate is a laid-back winery restaurant, serving slow, seasonal lunches and organic Joostenberg wines. We work with the freshest local produce and our menu changes every week. Tables are set between fruit and olive trees in the shaded, stone-walled courtyard in summer, and inside the cosy, rustic wagenhuis in winter.

- Our generous family-style, farm-to-table 3-course lunches tell a story of the current season and are planned to pair beautifully with our suggested wines. Served on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays at R590 pp. Booking is essential.

- Our Wagenhuis Spring Lunch, available until end September 2026, includes a tasting flight of 3 estate wines, and a main dish and seasonal sides, all served in our usual generous family style. R350 pp. Available on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Booking is essential.

- Taste our estate wines. Allow some time to enjoy an informative tasting flight of 5 wines that reflect the character and soul of Joostenberg Estate. R105 pp.

- A light cheese and salad lunch at R170 is available to pair with the wine tasting.

- Stroll through the werf garden and admire the authentic, original Cape Dutch architecture.

- We host interesting farm, food, wine, and cultural events throughout the year. View The Kraal Events for more details.

    We moved our experience at Joostenberg. We were enjoying our wine tasting outside under the tree, so they offered to set our lunch up outside as well. The food was beautifully prepared, the service was lovely and the farm was wonderful. We will definitely be back!

    As always, a great experience at Joostenburg. Excellent food, wine and service! Really appreciated the catering for my dietary requirements as well. Food was well balanced and paired well with the wines. Dessert was refreshing and ingredients balanced well together. Lovely!
