Coastal Region Wine & Vineyard Tour at Joostenberg

The Kraal is not just an ordinary lunch. It's a next level experience of dining and good conversation in a wonderful relaxed environment. The food was very well made and the service was razor sharp. Where have you ever sat down to a meal that arrived within 5 minutes - no jokes. The steak was made to perfection and the sharing portion is more than enough for four people. Shaun was an excellent waiter who was attentive without doing helicopter waitering - which no one likes. Susan was very welcoming to guests and has an engaging personality that suits this job. The venue is suited to summer as you eat outdoors under cover, and they don't open at night unless there's a specific private event being held. Was the experience perfect? Well, Shaun, I'm still waiting for the steak knife you promised and missed our chat about the history and symbolism of the farm Susan. But with good food and drink, all is forgiven and the place encourages a leisurely meal with friends. The bathrooms are neat and clean. The Hoopenberg Road to Joostenberg Wines was not in a great condition; best to drive slowly on the unpaved road.

If you like Table at De Meye than this lunch is for you! This place is absolutely gorgeous and delicious. The fresh produce and recipes are out of this world. So simple yet so elegant and tasteful. The wines are to die for. And the staff is lovely and well educated. And most of all happy and serving that happiness. They really take the time for every customer. Definitely coming back! Thanks for having us.

Must be one of the best, undercover winelands lunches in the Cape. Weekly changing menu, superb family style food, amazing setting in an old Kraal, beautiful wine list, one of my favourites 🤙 Must book…

We were there for a bridal shower and the food was just divine! They have shared portions / plates and gluten-free options that are delicious. We were originally planning on having the celebration in the actual sheep "kraal" outside by the restaurant, but the weather wasn't great, so they happily set our table up in their beautiful, rustic tasting room. They make use of seasonal set menus, which we loved. There was nothing we ate or drank that we didn't absolutely adore. What a special find to celebrate a special day. The service was also excellent, with accommodating staff, swift and efficient service, and friendly faces. It was such a joy! I'll definitely be back for more.

Incredibly quaint, farm chic, simple, rustic and elegant place. The most underrated and sensational wine and beautiful 3 course meal for only R480pp. We were blown away by the place and can’t wait to go back! They don’t like you to bring pets because they have farm dogs.
