96 Winery Road Restaurant

96 Winery Road has been proudly perfecting Winelands dining since 1996 — yes, the year we opened, not our address. A firm favourite with locals, winemakers, and travellers from across the globe, we wear our title of “The Winelands Restaurant” with great pride.

Nestled in the heart of Stellenbosch wine country, 96 Winery Road has become a beacon of culinary and viticultural excellence. Born from a deep passion for wine and the joy of gathering, our story began in the hillside vineyards of Winery Road. From intimate cellar tastings to the elevated dining experience we offer today, our journey has been one of growth rooted in authenticity — always preserving the humble charm that first inspired us.

Our cuisine is grounded in the richness of Cape flavours — a fusion of tradition and innovation. Seasonal menus showcase heirloom vegetables, free-range meats, freshly caught seafood, artisan breads, and house-made preserves. Every plate is designed to harmonise with our wines, every bite a story of soil, sun, and craftsmanship.

By 'Real Food' I mean big flavoured, unpretentious cooking. Good ingredients made into something worth eating. Nothing fancy, nothing extravagant, nothing careless or slapdash, just nice uncomplicated food. Simple food cooked with care and generosity." – Nigel Slater

Functions @ 96 Winery Road & Country Guest House

At 96 Winery Road Restaurant, we’ve spent 30 years bringing people together over good food, good wine and memorable moments — and our function offering is a natural extension of that experience.

For more intimate gatherings, The Country Guest House — located just next door — provides a beautiful, relaxed setting for your celebration, with the added convenience of on-site accommodation. Surrounded by vineyards, gardens and mountain views, it’s the perfect space for everything from baby showers and birthdays to corporate gatherings, team builds and small conferences.

Our function spaces cater to smaller groups, offering a choice of indoor venues and access to picturesque outdoor areas. Guests can enjoy the same warm hospitality and food-driven experience that 96 Winery Road is known for, with menus designed to suit the style of your event — from casual and interactive to more traditional sit-down options.

Catering is inspired by our restaurant’s philosophy of generous, flavourful dishes made for sharing, with options ranging from light bites and harvest tables to hearty lunches and relaxed feasts. Pricing typically starts from around R160 per person, with venue hire from approximately R10 000 – R15 000, depending on the space and availability.

For those celebrating special milestones or weddings, the guest house also offers access to an intimate chapel among the vines, as well as comfortable accommodation for you and your guests — making it easy to turn your event into a full Winelands experience.

Whether you’re planning a relaxed daytime gathering or an early evening celebration, our team will work with you to create something that feels effortless, personal and true to the 96 Winery Road spirit.
