The Kraal Restaurant at Joostenberg Wine Estate, is a laid back, farm restaurant, serving slow, seasonal lunches and organic Joostenberg wines. Tables are set between fruit and olive trees in the shaded, stone walled courtyard in summer, and inside the cozy, rustic wagenhuis in winter.

Allow some time to enjoy a relaxed, informative tasting of our wines and to stroll through the werf garden and admire the authentic, original Cape Dutch architecture.

Note: Sat 24 January 2026, 18h30. Our annual summer harvest party date is coming up!

Celebrate our beautiful wine region and the 2026 harvest with the Spogwijn group of wine maker friends for a sunset wine tasting and a generous farm supper.
To make a booking, go to The Kraal Events, or phone 079 6411320, or email kraalrestaurant@joostenberg.co.za "

    The Kraal is truly a special place even for those who’ve seen all of Cape Town and Stellenbosch culinary options!

    it is a very nice place, the restaurant is very private and cosy, located in a beautiful courtyard; the individual dishes were very lekker, but the meat could have been a little more tender...

    A lovely farm to fork experience with excellent service. The food was simple but tasty and generous. The wine pairing was so affordable and we loved the stories behind each organic wine that we tried. We were a little bit disappointed to be seated in a courtyard rather than in the orchard we read about but will definitely go back in the winter to try that experience.

    Hello Marilyn Thanks you visiting us at The Kraal and for your positive review. We have never served in an orchard and I was wondering if you remember where you read that? I would like to try and correct the info. kind regards Susan
