De Grendel Restaurant
De Grendel has always been known for their outstanding wines, but recently they’ve had some competition from the restaurant. The restaurant at De Grendel is a great pitstop on a day of wine tasting, but we especially love whiling away a Sunday afternoon there. It’s not quite Durbanville, but we’ve included it becuase of its beautiful views and delicious food.

Hours: Monday – Saturday: 09h00 – 17h00. Sunday: 10h00 – 16h00

Diemersdal Farm Eatery
Despite being as old as it is, Diemersdal Estate seem to keep up with the times and always remain fresh and exciting. The same could be said of their restaurant, where they offer a seasonal and constantly-changing menu. This is a great wine-day-out option when you have the kids, let them run wild on the vast lawn while you sip on something tasty.

Tables at Nitida
