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.

This winter we’ve reimagined our restaurant offering, moving beyond a traditional à la carte lunch to introduce a five-course tasting menu.
Head Chef Eric Bulpitt joined the Ernie Els team at the end of 2023, bringing over two decades of experience from leading kitchens locally and abroad. Over the years, he’s made a conscious effort to work closely with nearby suppliers, sourcing quality products, and regularly adjusting the menu to show ingredients at their peak.
Our Signature tasting menu allows diners to honour what’s in season. From hand-rolled pastas and comforting broths to slow-cooked cuts and premium meats finished over the coals, it’s a sophisticated winter experience, with picturesque views of Stellenbosch and the Helderberg mountains.
Five-Course Signature Tasting Menu R650 per person | With Wine Pairing R1000 per person.
Available this winter from May 2026. Bookings are essential.
