Something a little lighter for the warmer days ahead. ☀️🍷
With summer on its way, we’re adding a new lunch option to the mix!

A tasting of three distinctly different Joostenberg Estate w**es, served alongside a generous summer lunch dish and seasonal sides. Simple, wholesome food, good w**e and all the lovely things that come with lunch on the farm.

R350 per person.

Our usual three-course farm lunches and five-w**e tasting flights will still be available, so there’s plenty of reason to visit.
We look forward to seeing you around the table! 🌿

These old walls have been here for much longer that our lunch tables.

The Kraal takes its name from exactly what this space once was: the old animal enclosures or ‘kraals’ where mules, sheep, horses, geese, pigs and chickens slept at night.
Today, the original stone walls enclose a rather different scene. Trees and greenery have filled the courtyard, tables sit beneath their shade, and what was once a working part of the farm has become a place for long lunches, good food and Joostenberg w**e.

A little piece of the farm’s history, still very much part of everyday life at Joostenberg.

A few moments from our most recent vineyard and w**ery walk by Fiona Rossiter | Creative Director ✨

Join us on Saturday, 7 November, for our final guided walk of 2026. Led by our w**emaking team, the morning offers an opportunity to explore the vineyards and w**ery, and gain a little more insight into our approach to farming and w**emaking.

R180 per person, including tea or coffee and a pastry on arrival, followed by a guided walk and w**e tasting.
For those wishing to make a day of it, stay for a leisurely three-course lunch at The Kraal, or opt for a lighter cheese lunch.
Bookings via the link in our bio.

What does a three-course lunch at The Kraal look like? 🌿
It usually starts with a table full of little things to share.

Recently, that meant antipasti with Puglia fior di latte mozzarella, baby spinach, grilled carrots and courgettes, coppa ham, toasted almonds and citrus dressing, alongside slow-fermented sourdough, Dalewood farm butter and olive tapenade.

For the main course, slow-cooked free-range beef with red w**e sauce, roast cauliflower with cauliflower purée and confit garlic, rosemary roast potatoes and a generous seasonal vegetable salad with gremolata.

And, of course, something sweet to finish.
The menu changes every week, following the season, what’s growing and what’s available. So no two lunches are quite the same, but you can always expect simple, wholesome food, generous plates and plenty to pass around the table.

Three-course farm lunches are served every Friday, Saturday and Sunday at The Kraal.

A slow lunch, the farm way. 🌿

Good food passed around the table, Joostenberg w**e in your glass, plenty of conversation and nowhere else you need to be.
Our three-course farm lunches are served every Friday, Saturday and Sunday at The Kraal. Come spend a few hours with us.

A first course at The Kraal is rarely just one thing. 🌿

A little Dalewood butter, something crisp, something pickled, a spoonful of tapenade, crudités from the garden, a fresh salad… whatever is good that week and whatever we think will taste particularly lovely alongside a glass of Joostenberg w**e.
Our menu changes every week, following what’s in season and what’s coming from the garden, the farm and the producers we love. Nothing too fussy. Just lots of good little things brought to the table and shared.

Lunch at The Kraal is made for bringing your nearest and dearest, ordering a bottle for the table and forgetting about the city for an afternoon. Close enough for an easy drive, but far enough to feel properly away from it all.

Three-course farm lunches are served Friday, Saturday & Sunday only. Bookings are essential.

A few things we love about October on the farm. 🌿

The werf garden is green and growing, the vineyards are waking up for a new season and there are plenty of good reasons to spend a day at Joostenberg.

🌱 Three-course farm lunches at The Kraal
Served Friday, Saturday & Sunday from 10:00–15:00.
R565 per person, with an optional Joostenberg w**e pairing at R210 per person.

🍷 W**e tastings at the Joostenberg tasting room

A simple, relaxed lunch of local cheeses to enjoy alongside Joostenberg w**es at the tasting room.

🚶 W**ery & Vineyard Walks
Our next guided walks take place on 3 October and 7 November.

And in between, there’s the werf garden to wander through, cows and sheep in the fields, new growth in the vineyards and plenty happening around the farm.

Citrus pavlova. 🍊

Light, crisp, creamy and just the right amount of tart. A simple dessert made with what was abundant at the time, which is often how the best things on our table begin.

Nothing too fussy. Just wholesome food, thoughtfully put together and made by people who really love to cook. 🌿

Planning each week’s lunch starts with what we have around us. What’s growing in the garden, what’s in season, what’s coming from the farm and, quite simply, what we feel like cooking.

From there, the menu takes shape. Familiar flavours, good ingredients and the kind of food we love to put in the middle of a table and share.
