Our 18th century classic Cape Dutch building, that originally served as the cellar, has come full circle. Now home to Vergenoegd Löw’s Wine Lounge for superb wine experiences and a relaxed, refined and family-friendly, farm-to-table Restaurant, where the menu is inspired by our wines. Both conceived by renowned Cape gastronomist Michelle Theron.

All wines carry the imprint of the sea, less than 5km away. Cooling Atlantic Oceans winds slow down ripening to yield fruit rich in concentration and balance. We call our location merroir: a combination of mer/sea and terroir.


Wine Lounge
Sample award-winning wines across themes or savour with local artisanal food flavours in cheese and charcuterie. We also offer our Cap Classique matched with traditional sweet treats.
A highlight is the signature Indigenous Food & Wine Pairing: 7 wines, 7 paired dishes featuring local, native ingredients and flavours, and 7 stories that celebrate local flavour ingenuity and inventiveness.


Restaurant
Dishes are made from ingredients raised regeneratively in soils brimming with life, and seasons dictate the mood and the food. Monday to Saturday, dine from the à la carte menu. Sunday Celebrations are for sharing generous tables laden with plentiful platters. Families, friends and fellow-diners gather round to delight in nature’s abundance.

    What a wonderful oasis this is! Sitting in the sunshine enjoying some of the best wine on offer in South Africa along with some tasty snacks, well life just couldn't be better could it? We tried the indigenous tasting and found it both enjoyable and educational, certainly better than a bag of crisps or packet of twiglets. Oh, and make sure you're there to see the ducks (9am or 12 noon) they are so funny!

    The food on the charcuterie platter looked amazing, but the portions were minute. Barely enough to taste alongside the various wines. At R400 each, I felt that the experience could only have been aimed at Euro, GBP and USD bank account holders - definitely not the same quantity of food as other wine establishments’ charcuterie or cheese platters. Pretty disappointed.

    Service was incredible, wines incredible. Currently a fair bit of construction so a bit noisy but you can tell its going to be amazing when they're finished!

    Incredible wine tasting experience. Staff went above and beyond to make the experience feel unique, and the platter was delicious. Looking forward to the upgraded restaurant and tasting lounge. Will definitely be back.

    We had an amazing time tasting at Vergenoegd with George! He gave us a tour of the Homestead and had all sorts of fun facts to share. We then were seated in front of the fire and lead through an amazing tasting. George was very passionate and knowledgeable and really did a fabulous job. We would recommend this experience to anyone. The wine was amazing and we hope to be able to visit again one day!
