Culture Wine Bar

If you have to choose between paying for a plane ticket and a bottle of wine. Best you buy that plane ticket because paying R9k for a bottle of wine is insane. This place is not for the budgeting type, we made the mistake of buying a glass of wine for R200 each, thinking it was for a bottle 🥴 We went on a Winter's Friday night and it was a bit empty. However the waiter that night was not attentive and would dissappear when we needed something. Overall the service was a bizarre experience, that left a bad taste in my mind. The food selection is very slim. My friend had the oxtail which was the dish of the week. She really enjoyed it. I had the line fish which was the seabass and it was really good. The portions were small so you will be hungry afterwards. Don't think I'll come back, even for a glass of water.

Very interesting option on CPT. The wine options are extensive and they are great! We also ordered some fried potatoes that tasted very well. We were expecting to get a birthday cake/dessert as promised, but it never came to us. When we first came in (around 1:30pm), the restaurant was completely empty… we spent about 5’ waiting for someone to come up and help us get a table and order.

Came for the wine, stayed for the conversation. Elvis was nothing short of exceptional. His wine knowledge was top-tier, but what truly set him apart was his warm, engaging presence. He made us feel genuinely welcome, like old friends rather than just passing guests. We could have stayed for hours (over and above the 2 hours we were there), simply chatting and sipping. A truly special experience. Thank you, Elvis!

What an awesome evening! Our Sommelier Blessing was absolutely amazing 👌🏽 So knowledgeable about the wines he presented, very friendly, alert… and just thee best host! Definitely coming back again. Ohh… and the tomahawk steak was cooked to perfection!

We went for the wine tasting and it was such a fun well curated experience. The vibes were great all around and the atmosphere was lovely with really good service.

Wine selection is very very good and a lot of options! The live music is amazing. Only downside is that I made a reservation 1 month in advance for my husband’s birthday and they completely forgot my reservation, even though it was prepaid and everything. I was even going to be charged again for the tasting that was charged when I made the reservation; maybe I should have not taken for granted the reservation and remind them, but I really thought it was sorted. The service was very nice but very slow that day too and we didn’t get a lot of explanation for the wines on the tasting. But overall is a nice place to try lots of new wines if you have experience with them and not need a lot of attention from the staff.

Had a very cosy table for dinner, wine list is extensive, prices are high. Overall a meal and a shared bottle was R600pp. Staff are well trained, very attentive. Live music with cover charge in the Green Room was optional, but we opted for the Culture Wine Bar which did not disappoint. Can recommend 👌

Wow what an evening. I consider myself a wine snob. I know what I like, but difficult to please. Every single wine I got here was spot on… so good! amazing service by Elvis who recommended amazing wines for me, helped me with places to visit and was extremely knowledgeable. The food was also incredible. Already planning to go back soon!
