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 "

    Food was not as good as it usually is. Was a bit disappointed as I’ve eaten here twice before and food was not up to the usual standard. Great setting on a beautiful summer day.

    This was a lovely afternoon out. We loved all the courses, but the dessert was definitely a showstopper! I also really appreciated the way that the chef and staff went above and beyond to cater for my food allergy.

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