We usually go there if in the mood for German type food. Lovely platter for 2. The restaurant seating area feels nice and cosy, but if you are able to sit under the pergola outside, a very pretty framed view awaits. The cellar feels like one of the old-school ones, with dark wood and dimmed lighting, they do great cheese platters when wine tasting and we always buy one of their rosé wines to take home.
Amazing breakfast at the restaurant. Delicious and affordable food and friendly service. Tue atmosphere was warm and cozy thanks to the fire place.Thanks Delheim!
Just breathtakingly beautiful it was overwhelming. We went for breakfast. I had salmon eggs Benedict- perfectly made. The coffee one of the best I've ever had. Bf had the chefs breakfast. There home made pork sausage to die for. Presentation A+. I like the little things: the butter was wrapped like a sweety, the pepper grinder was a plastic bottle that looks like one of their wine. Service quick and efficient
I'm keen to go for dinner in winter next to the fire place
We did the wine tasting after. Lovely wines. Tasting fee foregone on purchase of a bottle.
OOOOOOHHHHHHH This one is worth writing about. On our Cape Town trip we went online to see which wine tastings were open until late and Delheim happen to be one of the last to close. Taking us nearly an hour to get there, searching and almost giving up; I am happy to say it was worth every bit of the journey.
When we arrived I was already mesmerised by the view. Late sun on the mountains. Chilly breeze. We sat down and it immediately felt like home. Warm. Welcoming.
We had the wine tasting and it was honestly THE BEST collection of wines we ever tasted. We ended up buying 8 wines to bring home and we have salvaged them and had it on special occasions.
One of the best experiences ever!
Delheim has one of the warmest atmospheres with a staff that is passionate and friendly and would do all they can to make their guests feel welcome and have them enjoy their visit to their beautiful farm and facilities!Because of the fantastic food and wine, Delheim is a must-do visit during any Winelands tour or Cape Holiday!
Delheim tucked away at the foot of the Simonsberg mountain. The views are stunning as the winelands always is!!!!
Off we went for a lovely Sunday lunch for 2 ;) been living around here for over 2 years and I hadn't tried it so was grateful to finally have set foot here ...
For R150pp we each got a Cauliflower soup as starter and the pork belly strips for the main... so worth it!
Cauliflower soup was nice and creamy - big portions, well presented and very tasty!
Pork belly strip was very tasty and loved the big pork crackling on top!
All and all I would recommend this place it's really very tranquil and service and food is awesome! Do try them ;)
We actually made a booking for Friday afternoon (for #RestaurantWeekSA) but due to getting food poisining the previous night from a well known restaurant we had to cancel last minute. We really wanted to go so randomly decided to go yesterday afternoon without a booking. They were completely fully booked, but the very nice manager, Junior, assured us he would make a plan and asked if we mind to wait. On clear days guests have a beautiful view across to Table Mountain in the distance. The restaurant offers a selection of dishes ranging from cheese platters to traditional German and South African food and it is really a relaxing but upper market ambience.
Waiting was no problemat all as they also have a really lovely wine tasting area as well were we tasted some splendid wines-would highly recommend their Cahrdonnay Sur Lie-pricy but really worth every cent (R160 per bottle). We did a tasting of 5 wines were you pick your own wines. You also have the option of adding a platter, some snacks, tapas or do a cupcake and wine pairing.
The service was perfect and just after the wine tasting Junior and his lovely team (can also really give a shout out to the 2 friendly professional waiters who served is with a smile-even though they were under a lot of preasure being so chaotically bus-Assanda and Hillary) got us a table inside. After receiving our wine (we ordered the Chardonnay Sur Lie) and a jug of cold water, they said they just got an opening outside for us on the beautiful terrace. It is absolutely amazing sitting outside and smelling all the wonderful dishes passing by, all looking beautifully plated as well.
For the Restaurant Week South Africa special our starters were Cauliflower soup, quenelle of slow braised oxtail, sautéed fennel, parsley oil (ther eis also a vegetarian option of shimeji mushrooms instead of the oxtail). The soup was perfectly seasoned with parmesan and very smooth and creamy, the oxtail was perfectly cooked-long and slow and the sauteed fennel and parsley oil just completed the dish-it was truly one of the best soups I have ever had. It also paired perfectly with the Chardonnay. This soup is usually priced at R65.
When we finished our starters Asanda came back to inform us that unfortunately they are out of pork belly which was supposed to be included for the Restaurant Week special (Crisp pork belly strips, sweet potato fondant, aubergine and thyme puree, butternut, garden Swiss chard, tomato and pork beurre blanc.), but instead we can have any other main course or starter from the menu. It was difficult to choose as there were so many options and all of it looked delicious, but something stroke our eyes very quickly and my friend and I both had the Slow braised lamb shank in a Moroccaan rub, sauteed baby potatoes, seasonal vegetables, olives, harissa & yoghurt dressing, deep fried mint and a lamb jus. Ususally priced at R185, which is really not bad considering the quality and quantity.
It was a feast! The lamb tasted delicious, perfectly seasoned, a touch of a spicy bite, and falling of the bone. Everything else that accompanied it complimented the dish completely except for the harissa yoghurt-which is the only criticism I can give as it was totally unnecassary-the lamb was soft, juicy, flavourful and tender enough to be served on it's own. =) It is very tasty-don't get me wrong, but overpowers the tasty flavours of the rest of the dish.
After a lovely meal-feeling very satisfied we had some perfectly made cappucinos. For 2 restaurant week specials, 2 bottles of wine and 2 cappucinos the bill came to R750 without tip.
Would definitely recommend it and be visiting again soon!
Wine tasting with cheese platters down in the wine cellar. It's dark and not too big with a old European feel to it. Sevice was good and so was the food and wine. Really got comfy there and did not want to leave.
Great Setting and friendly staff, simple menu with good variety. Food was very tasty and we will definitely be back. Well priced and nice portions
What a lovely meal and excellent service. Great atmosphere. Awesome weather. Fantastic view. Well done guys. Fantastic wine enjoyed by everyone concerned. @kimclur
We went for a Capcake and Wine paring event. It was very cool and interesting. Well worth the R150 per head.
Moved to the restaurant for lunch after. Well worth the move. Not the cheapest place ever, but the food and the staff made it worthwhile. Had an awesome time and would go back there anytime.
The food was awesome and the wine was great.
Definitely worth a visit.
An absolute gem! Went in the summer then the winter! Amazing menu every time. Great staff and views to die for. Would highly recommend to anyone who appreciates the finer details in life.
What a privelige to have had a sublime lunch while ouma Vera was there. Also had one of the best wine tastings ever. As well a glimpse into the reserve cellar. Great farm, with warm welcoming staff all the way from the entrance to the restaurant. Definitely my favorite farm.
1. We first came to Delheim Vineyard 30 years ago and what a wonderful experience we had today to visit again.
2. Had a lovely wine tasting and tour of the Wine Cellar so all i can say is this is a must visit on your trip to Stellenbosch..
3. Had a awesome lunch (soup and Kingklip) and obviously some great wine.
I've been to A Lot of eine tastings and nothing beats Delheim! The atmosphere is fantastic, the service is great. We had the absolute best value for money cheese platter in years! The road to Delheim is well worth it! Do yourself and your taste buds a favor!
We had the wine and cupcake pairing which was a nice experience. They also do it with fruit juices so that your children or people who don't drink (your designated driver) can be included in the tasting.
Very nice people. Great vine and an nice location. Worth the journey is the slogan and it's just true.

The Delheim Jazz and Fondue event is hands down the most fun we’ve ever had at a wine farm event! Enjoying delicious cheese, bread and wonderful wines while grooving to the tunes of local bands is the best way to spend a Sunday afternoon. I would not recommend bringing children as they’re not catered for on the menu so rather get a babysitter and make it a date day!
Absolutely loved this wine estate. The food is amazing with a unusual menu. Staff of the wine tasting could have been more enthusiastic and shown more interest. The restaurant is situated in a beautiful lush garden setting over looking the valley. The resident dogs are to cute as they greet each visitor hoping for a little scrap from the table. The wine tasting room is beautiful with aromas of wines filling the air. The wine cellar is awesome. U can off set your wine tasting bill against your purchase of wine of R100.00 or more. They have the most incredible pumpkin and fig preserve. Which is delicious with cheese and biscuits.
Absolutely worth it! Refreshingly unpretentious, matured beautifully, gentle spirit prevailing. Stunning!
