Generous Hearty Farm Style Cuisine

Thoughtfully selected for its prime position, Ernie Els winery is framed by panoramic views of Cape Town and Table Mountain to the west, and Stellenbosch and the Helderberg mountains to the east. A passage beyond our grand granite boulders, and through our wooden farmhouse-style doors will lead you into our homely, expansive tasting room and restaurant where you will be rewarded with exceptional wines and hearty farm-style cuisine.

Experience our Grillworks in action on our Restaurant Terrace on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Please be advised that our Grillworks Weekends are weather dependent and seasonal.
