Eikendal Vineyards flourish within the “Golden Triangle”, a renowned microclimate of wine growing, on the R44 road between Somerset West and Stellenbosch. The view is lovely though perhaps a bit close to the road. The parking is made safe by friendly and helpful security guards and a boomed gate. We were a large party that werely kindly acommodated with a wine tasting and lunch in the resturant. The acoustics of the restuarant area somehow made the space extremely loud. Everyone kept raising their voices and it was difficult to converse with the people at my table. The second thing that struck me about this dining area was the confused styling and decor. It seemed to be combining decorative elements that were completely uncohesive and from very different historic time periods and design styles. While the separate elements were mostly rather lovely, when all combined they were a less than sophisticated jumble. There were elaborate steel chandeliers which matched the antique golden frames, but were completely at odds with the tacky canvas prints of Marylyn Manroe and James Dean - which would work better in a road-side diner or grill house. Between these were a variety of plates on the wall, which felt like an expression of the warm farm house trend. They will need to choose one style and commit to it. I'm sure this is not noticed by most guests, but as a wine farm with some history they must create a consistent visual style and standard to support a level of sophistication. This communicates the attention to detail you would expect of their wine making. The staff were however extremely warm, friendly and welcoming. They provided excellent service. My coffee was great and I liked the bunny latte art. My beef salad was a slither away from being too dry and didn't quite live up to its spicy and saucy description. Though it was quite good none the less. The wine tasting was fair and the red wines were quite good. There are some beautiful views and there is a down to earth warmth about the human connection that staff create. It is worth a visit but there are many Vineyards I would recommend first.

They are called “The House of Chardonnay” for a reason! Food is also very enjoyable. Kids tasting super cute!

Friendly, relaxing in a beautiful setting with really good food. Be willing to wait once you ordered, they are very busy on a Sunday but it will be worth it. I orderd a bone marrow topped with garlic butter snails - excellent!

Had a really excellent tasting cheesecake and wine pairing. 3 wines with 3 cheesecakes. Was probably a little on the pricier side, but enjoyable with knowledgeable staff

We had dinner on a gorgeous evening on the terrace. Very busy so we understood why service was a bit slow. Food was delicious and overall a very pleasant experience. The dogs were allowed and that gets a 5 star from me.

We joined a group of friends that was having dinner. We joined them a couple of hours after they started. When we arrived we asked if we could get our own waiter as it was clear the current waiter was not coping, and we said we would sit at our own table next to the group. He declined our request. When we wanted to order we wanted to make sure our bill was separate. He told us very rudely that it was not possible. We asked to speak to a manager and Kudo arrived a few minutes later. He was condescending and did not give any of us time to finish a sentence. I even told him he was rude, not allowing anyone to finish. He eventually took our order. When the food arrive (fish of the day) it was amazing. The service after our initial interaction was great, just to bad for the bad start to the evening. If it was not for the great food this would have been a 1 star, but the food made up for the bad initial experience.

It was our first outing with our dog. We went looking for a pet-friendly wine tasting experience. What a pleasure it was at Eikendal Vineyards. The staff were amazing and very accommodating to us as a walk-in. To top it all off, the wines were really good to. It was impossible to leave without buying their wines.🍷🍷

Great place, excellent food and really nice vibe sitting under the oak trees

Amazing food from the Eikendal! I big shout out to Ishmael who gave us a pleasant day with the best service. Highly recommend menu

Fabulous family run vineyard - very simple and homely. We’re a family of 5 with pre teen kids and we loved it. On-site restaurant is a walk for small kids through the vineyard but well worth it - excellent food, wine and trees for the kids to climb. Highly recommended!

My favourite restaurant in the world. Great food and service. Amazing views and atmosphere, clean bathrooms. Great wine tasting room and great for kids. We have become quite good friends with the waiters, and we live in Somerset West and this is our go to place.

What a lovely first time experience. Lovely tree shaded outdoor seating and exciting menu. Drinks and entreé served quickly, whilst mains took a little bit longer. However, with good company and conversation, this went by almost unnoticed. Whole party of 12 only had compliments for the food served, with generous portions and combinations to boot. Quickly served tasty deserts rounded off a wonderful Cape Town early autumn meal experience. Do not hesitate to visit, you will not regret! Dog friendly venue with play area for children, including a free tractor ride.

Visited Eikendal for my birthday to do the cheese cake and wine pairing. It was something different, and quite nice. Service was just a bit lacking. We had a reservation, but was seated at a table that was not so great.

I had an excellent experience at Eikendal Vineyards. They have affordable tasting options with pairings as well. The person explaining the wines to me was amiable and knew everything from their best-tasting wines and their best sellers. I recommend coming here with your friends and family, preferably over 18 and enjoy yourself.

Very much a family style winery. Doesn't take itself too seriously. Good way to spend some time amongst your loved ones of all ages. Their restaurant serves hearty Italian fare which really fits with the family friendly vibe they've created. Large portions of food that's very well priced. Recommended when you want the wine and view while wearing flip flops.

Had a focaccia to start which was lovely. Then had chicken livers with mash which was divine. Our friend had the pulled pork wrapped in bacon which was also very good. Service was good and the setting and view is what you would expect from a wine farm.

Great wine tasting. The wine and cheesecake pairing was amazing. We ordeted a cheeseboard which very nice and was perfect for two sharing. 👌 We didn't order from the restaurant it was busy. Lots of inside seating and dining tables under the trees too. We will definitely be going back. Great experience !!

My family and I was there on Saturday for my mother's birthday.when we arrived our table wasn't ready but I made a reservation in the week already. When we sat down the lady only came once to pour wine, luckily we knew 1 of the stuff members and she continue helping us.we asked for a platter which took 20mins.there was no plates or cutlery given to us. There as a couple ( white ) they just sat down they got their wines on time,plates and cutlery was given to them 10mins later they received platter. I am very disappointed and will not go there ever again.regret going there

Such a special place when visiting the Winelands. Sweeping views, outside seating, marvelous food and wine, great service. Food prices absolutely reasonable. It's all there. We'll done Eikendal!

We really enjoyed the run we attended at the venue. Beautiful venue!! However the staff at the restaurant were not very friendly. I would think twice to come to the restaurant again.

Had the wine and cheesecake paring. It was OK, excepted more.

We had the best time at Eikendal! The pizzas are beyond divine! Setting and service is amazing.

Fantastic service and fairly cheap wine tasting. The cheese platter was also phenomenal and we shared it as a snack between 4 people, which was more than enough - would gladly have it as a sharing lunch between 2. (PS: our photo does not include the two pieces of ciabatta bread or the filled peppadews which are included.)

Had a great meal here while doing some wine tasting. Very nice relaxing atmosphere and great food. Highly recommended.

Very good food with professional friendly service! Excellent wines!!

It was the first time I visited the estate. View and atmosphere was really good. Wine tasting and wine very enjoyable. The one thing that spoilt the afternoon was the poor service. Had to go look for a waiter to serve us more wine. Not one waiter came to our table to see if we needed any food or more wine.

Incredible wine experience and delicious scenery. Amazing food at the restaurant

Eikendal Vineyards reminds one of just how important it is to keep traditional values. Red or white, their wine is more than a glass of basic balanced flavour, one can sense the passion of labour, and having said that, throughout generations
