Glen Carlou

We visited Glen Carlou Wine Estate's restaurant and wine tasting facility. Their food was exceptional as was the service from Muriel. We started off with a Chef's treat which was potatoe and bacon soup. Starters My husband had as a pulled beef and onion soup paired with Glen Carlou Grand Classique. I had calamari paired with Glen Carlou Chardonnay. Mains Vension stew (which was a generous portion) was paired with their Cabernet Sauvignon, . The wild mushrooms risotto was paired with a Chardonnay. All the dishes were amazing and well paired. After lunch we opted to do a wine tasting, which is served with a snack platter. Our host, Dylan was extremely knowledgeable of their wines and the history of the estate. He also gave us exceptional service. We will definitely go back. Glen Carlou specialises in Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon. Our personal favourite was the Collection red blend and the Grand Classique 2022.

Good experience….. Had lunch today, the food was amazing, the staff were terribly helpful and friendly. Excellent wines. Ambience was great, nice location. Will definitely come back and recommend to our family and friends👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

We visited Glen Carlou for our year end lunch. Relaxed atmosphere with a beautiful view! We really enjoyed our meals, the meat was perfectly cooked and delicious flavours! We will definitely be visiting again soon 10/10

Stunning views and delicious food. There's an art gallery with interesting local art inside. The highlight was definitely the friendly and highly efficient staff. So kind and welcoming. Made me feel taken care of and it was such a great atmosphere. Wish I could remember the names of the ladies who served me. They deserve so much praise! Highly highly recommend.

Had a wine tasting to find some good wines for pairing. The staff were educated, friendly and super helpful. We really enjoyed the tasting experience and especially the Bourdeux blend. Would love to come by some time for lunch!

Delicious lunch at the restaurant today, seated outside with impressive sweeping views across to Paarl Rock. Fast and friendly service, and very good wines. Even though the restaurant was quite full, it was a peaceful and quiet setting. Nice playground near the restaurant entrance for kids.

A simple and relaxing lunch overlooking the vineyard. Food is tasty and substantial, nothing extraordinary but beautifully paired to showcase the wine. Booking lunch in advance is essential. Good selection of red wines. Pairings and tastings available. A wonderful vineyard experience.

A delightful experience at the well-established winery and restaurant of Glen Carlou. Perched high up on the hill, you are able to capture in incredible views of the Winelands while enjoying your wine tasting or lunch. The food itself is well-plated, fresh and flavourful while the complimentary amuse-bouche is a treat. We were graced with excellent and professional service, without any complaints. Overall, a great location for a lovely laid-back Sunday session of wine tasting on the terrace followed by lunch in their main restaurant area.
