Haute Cabrière - the home of Pierre Jourdan

Treated ourselves to a visit during Restaurant week. 3 course meal on offer for R490. I had the Confit Trout starter, Springbok rump and Earl Grey Diplomat. The melt-in-your-mouth trout was exceptional. The medium rare Springbok Rump was beautiful and the vegetables that accompanied it were delicious. The diplomat was my first and pleasant enough. Highly recommend this restaurant which presides in a beautiful setting. Staff were really friendly and helpful. And the walk through the tasting room to the bathrooms took us back to our trip to Cappadocia last year.

We arrived to check this place out and there wasn’t any pressure. We enquired about the wine tasting and the delightful Pauline looked after us, she was very knowledgeable and engaging a clear advocate of the wines. The wines themselves were very good and some original to a seasoned palate! We accompanied the wines themselves tasting with a cheese board. We only paid for the one tasting for us both and equally shared the cheese board. Highly recommend.

Photos do not do this place justice! I just sat with a couple glasses of wine admiring the view. We visited as part of the wine tram and did not have a reservation. This was my favorite stop and I highly recommend it!

If I could give Patty and her team 6x stars I would. We hosted our wedding celebrations at Haute Cabriere in January 2026, and it was incredible. Patty and her team were super responsive, the food was incredible, as was the wine. They were very accommodating and whole event was as smooth as silk. Also, the venue is simply stunning and a must see.

It was my first time at this wine estate and our waitress made it easy to understand. We chose our wines with macarons and Azi (waitress) was wonderful. Very professional and friendly. The wine was exquisite and we bought a bottle to leave with. Great service.

The property is very modern. The waiters are extremely friendly and courteous. The wine and sparkling wine tasted great. I can only recommend the Pinot Noir. The opportunities to sit outside for the wine tasting are very limited. It is not possible to sit in front of the modern house building of beton. Instead, we sat in the wine cellar until requested. Which was not exactly attractive due to the beautiful weather outside.

Stunning views of the valley below and the mountains behind the winery. The cheese and charcuterie platters in the tasting area are absolutely delicious. I can highly recommend the Haute Collection to taste delicious wine from old vines. I especially enjoyed the Amphora Semillon. The staff were all very knowledgeable and friendly. Haute Cabrière is definitely worth a visit and just a few minutes drive from the centre of Franschhoek.

One of my favourite fine dining restaurants in Franschoek. We had 3 courses during the summer edition of restaurant week and I must say that I was very impressed. The restaurant has amazing views of the Franschoek Wine Valley. We received a welcome glass of the sparkling rosé which was so good that we ordered another one. Each of the dishes from the starters to the desert was delicious. I'm coming back for their winter menu.
