Beyerskloof

The Wine Estate is a solid, easygoing stop if you’re in the area. The wines were good, and the overall experience to standard. Important distinction: this was not the restaurant experience. Restaurant bookings are essential, but the wine tasting side is relaxed and walk-ins are welcome, which makes it a convenient option if you haven’t planned ahead. The tasting room is casual, the staff friendly, and there’s no pressure or formality. Cool history note: Beyerskloof was founded by Beyers Truter, one of the key figures behind modern Pinotage, and the estate remains closely associated with championing South Africa’s signature red grape.

Date Visited: 23rd Sep 2025 Group size: Couple on a road trip Dine: wine tasting Vibe: cozy, comfortable, classy Meals: they are claimed to be the home of best pinotage. Definitely worth the tasting experience! We bought a bottle for our remaining road trip too! Pricing: average, affordable, worth the quality Recommended: highly!

Still the best Pinotage and blends South Africa has to offer. We stop here every year for a tasting, and enjoy it as if we do not drink litres of their wine every other day. Do a tasting, buy the wine and enjoy their company.

We had lunch at the restaurant on Sunday. The food was good value for money, but the overall experience was very poor. It was 37 degrees outside and they didn't have air conditioning or even any ventilation. Additionally, the service was extremely poor. It was slow, and our waiter kept spilling wine on the table every time he topped up our glasses, and even dripped water on our food.

Always a pleasure coming here. They have the best Pinotage. We are well familiar with their wines, although it is nice to try some of their more premium wines. There is inside and outside seating. A nice relaxed environment with knowledgeable staff.

Came for a Sunday brunch and it was exceptional. Lovely + friendly service from René. We ordered the chicken livers to share and it came with mushroom risotto in the middle! Then for mains we got their burger and the eggs benedict. Both also delicious. Will be returning in future. 😌

We had an absolutely fantastic visit to Beyerskloof Winery! From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed and had the pleasure of being served by Brandon, who truly made our experience unforgettable. His knowledge, passion, and enthusiasm for the wines were evident, and he took the time to give us a personalized, one-on-one tasting experience. Not only did we get to sample some incredible wines, but Brandon also took us behind the scenes, where we got an up-close look at the barrels and learned about the winemaking process. It was fascinating to see the craftsmanship and dedication that goes into every bottle. The setting was beautiful, the wines were exceptional, and the service was top-notch. If you’re looking for an intimate and insightful wine tasting experience, Beyerskloof is a must-visit, especially if you have the chance to be hosted by Brandon!

Great wine, painfully average restaurant. Beyerskloof has a reputation of good wine, and just as friendly are the wine tasting employees (thanks Jacques) but rather don’t visit the restaurant if you want to feel accommodated. If the menu says potato fries, don’t even ask for a salad or dare to request a vegetable substitute, the main chef “refuses”. Health conscious? Stay away! Extremely limited and unsophisticated menu, more like pub & grill food. Final take: order your wine online, you will leave the estate in pure disappointment if you wanted a food experience.
