Wonderful afternoon spent at Wildekrans. The estate is beautifully kept and maintained with tar roads and manicured gardens.The food was absolutely amazing. Each dish was prepared and plated with care and each with their own taste sensations. I would highly recommend stopping here for a lunch. Wildekrans also has cottages, a tasting room and horses.The staff were friendly and professional. One of the chefs came out to speak to us about the ingredients and preparation of the food.The beef rump was succulent and cooked to perfection. My absolute favourite was the sea bass starter.The dessert could be improved upon but it did not disappoint.Visitors should know that the menu is a bit pricy but well worth it.
An exceptional dining experience! With a new twist on local ingredients, an uniquely South African 5-star menu. Friendly and attentive staff who are knowledgable about all the ingredients and methods used in every dish. The local wines are also supplied at cellar prices. All in all, a must for everyone who loves food.
I really wanted to like Forage. The setting and service were excellent, but the food could really be improved. First thing to note is that even though the restaurant is named Forage, they have stopped foraging for what they put on the plate, due to a change of head chef. We ordered the grilled octopus, grilled squash, overberg duck, pork belly, line fish, truffle risotto, and apple tart for lunch on a weekday. The starters were fine, but several of the main courses were terribly oversalted. The line fish and duck in particular were way oversalted. The pork rind was way too hard and utterly inedible. The apple tart was excellent, and the Sauvignon Blanc was top drawer. I like it enough to give it a 3.5 stars overall, but they really should season their food a bit better considering the price.
Beautiful wines and outstanding food. Worth the visit
Ahh forage! This is a place for foodies, if food + wine pairing is your thing, then this is a place to visit. The food was excellent! Service was fantastic. Even though it was off season, the staff were amazing! Very passionate about the food and what they do. As you might have guessed, forage is exactly that. The ingredients and food sourced locally and 100km from their location. The paired wines come from the estate vineyard! Truly a fine dinning experience Amazing views of the hills. A must try indeed. Thanks to the brilliant staff and special shout out to Letricia! You have a fan!
Wildekrans Estate is a place I recommend to visit. The restaurant will indulge you with very tasty dishes and excellent Estate wines. The gorgeous view on the farming rolling hills increases the quality of this place.You will be welcomed by excellent service team.The opposite you can experienced in the testing room. I will avoid this next time.
Beautiful venue. Value for money breakfast.Nice accommodation
Excellent facilitiea and the restaurant is definitely at another level.. Food was excellent and service amazing!
Not to be missed! If you havent been, take a drive out on the weekend for a culinary experience of note. Delicious food and excellent wines (a bit pricey) but worth every penny spent.
The food was exquisite and the prices were very reasonable. Staff were responsive to every whim. We felt like royalty there.
My daughter and I had a delicious breakfast, beautifully presented. Lovely setting and friendly staff. A most enjoyable experience.
Nice wine, good service, would recommend the movie nights
Very enjoyable cheese platter with a great Chenin
All around wonderful. The best service in South Africa!

We had a lovely family lunch at the tasting room restaurant. Fabulous setting, excellent service, delicious food, our burgers were cooked to perfection and afterwards the kids took to the lawn to burn off some energy. Thank you for the relaxing experience.
Gorgeous location. Breakfast was out of this world!! Staff extremely friendly.
Excellent Wildekrans estate wines, food, service and relaxed environment with beautiful views.... what more do you want?!
A very nice restuarant!!
Excellent service, tasteful food and really good wine. Beautiful setting!
Amazing setting, great wines and awesome service
Good food
This was such a wonderful experience. I loved the fact that our waitress told us about the history of each dish. The meal was a culinary delight. Each course was beautifully plated. Meal was pricey so well only return on special occasions.
Awesome hospitality
Great selection of wines and good value for money. Knowledgable waiters. Beautiful grounds. Well worth a visit if you are wine lover...!
Very special spot with attentive, well trained staff and delicious dinners. Gorgeous views of the rolling hills. Made complete with the outstanding Wildekrans wines.
Beautiful location on the farm. Wonderful views of the vineyards and mountains in the distance. Friendly and attentive service from the staff. Good wine options to pair with the food options presented.
Went with friends for the highly acclaimed Friday night steak evening at the Tasting Room restaurant - I had been invited there for a ladies lunch a few weeks earlier and then had, what I can only describe as, the worst pizza Ive ever had - so I was far from excited to return. Anyway my friends had booked and we arrived to find that we were to be seated at one of the 3 tables on the verandah in the wind. As we were first to arrive we were luckily able to move to an inside table where the wine tastings are held. There were vases of limp and dead lavender on the tables and the whole place is in need of a good spring clean. The next guests were not so lucky and were highly irritated at where they were seated. My friends and I ordered the sirloin steaks and my husband (disregarding my warning) ordered a pizza. The steaks were tough to say the least; the chips were overcooked and the pizza never failed to live up to its reputation and was the second worst I have ever tasted. Music was non- existent and there were only 8 other guests at the outside tables (2 of them I later heard were the owners of Wilderkrans) The menu at this place is uninspiring and extremely overpriced even at the discounted Friday night special price.As we were invited guests we never complained but we will never go back again.
Good food, nice views and environment
A unique and very different food experience. the chefs handcrafted each dish like a piece of art. the variety,colours and presentation were brilliant. a lot of the food is foraged from the wine farm itself which sets it apart from the others. service was excellent.
Beautiful vineyards, friendly staff and a hamburger make perfectly to my requirements, accompanied by crispy fries, delicious onion rings and an ice cold glass of bubbly made this a very enjoyable afternoon.
Absolutely stunning experience.This restaurant could compare with amy 5 star restaurant, in South Africa or anywhere else for that matter.The wildekrans wines were outstanding.
Good service and great food.
Great setting and great wine.
What a lovely way to spend a Sunday afternoon.We did a complete fansy pansy cellar delightful wine tasting, WOW what s treat, experienced lovely & attentive service. We decided to stay at the wine tasting venue for lunch and everything we ordered was simply delicious and great quality!Contrary to one other review, we LOVED the gorgonzola & fig pizza with an incredible gluten free base.Kudus to chef and staff, absolutely amazing.
I did not order from the restaurant but did wine tasting. Wildekrans do have very fine wines. I went away with several bottles of white and red wine.
Remarkable place!! Farm-to-table and everyday is a magical creation by the chef using ingredients they pick locally.Truly noteworthy experience when you see how and where they source their ingredients and the loving approach to presentation and experience.
Lovely estate! Great place to have a wedding or a birthday party 😊👌
So disappointing! Planned a family day at Wilderkranz wine tasting restaurant for lunch so that we could sit outside and have a relaxing afternoon Booked several weeks in advance checked with reception the day before that our booking was secure which they confirmed When we got there we told that they do not take bookings and that there was no table available There was another large family booking that were let down as well Will certainly not go there again
A must - do if youre in the area. Great for a birthday lunch or dinner or special occasion. Beautiful area, yummy food, great service.
We ate in the tasting room. Excellent experience, our waitress was kind, knowledgeable and eager to assist where possible. I will visit again.
Friendly staff and good food. The wines are excellent.A year later we went back for a meal only to find a new chef and menu. The standard has dropped and our favourite steak night is no more. Very disappointed.
Had lunch at Forage yesterday. What a gem! Definitely one of the best foodie experiences outside of Cape Town itself. However I must point out that some of the photos are misleading. The photos of fine dining are at Forage itself, whilst the photos of hamburgers pizza etc are at Racione which is the bistro style restaurant alongside the wine tasting area. Also a very interesting menu (try the oven baked champagne mussels).
Very good wines. Great place to stay over. Friendly and accommodating staff.
Beautiful venue and excellent food!
Excellent, friendly service, matched by beautiful surroundings and truely unique dishes that are meticulously prepared and served with a local touch. Comfortable chairs, tables not too close to one another, fine cutlery and glassware. Highly recommended.
Food is Amazing
Most enjoyable beef burger with fries. Will definitely repeat sometime
Fast, friendly and efficient service. Very nice pizzas. Kids menu as well.
Lovely views with good wines and good restaurants. Wines are slightly overpriced.
New menu and chef with the same great ambience, top food, world class wine and views. Next to the tasting room where you can sample a range of award winning South African top 10 wines.
A exquisite restaurant in the most beautiful setting. The food is innovative and only uses fresh ingredients from the farm. However, be ppepared to fork out quite a couple of hundred rand for the experience. Also do not be to hungry.
Great food and awesome service
Love the onsite kitchen at the tasting room, beautiful indoor and outdoor seating options. Lovely staff.
We visited one of the restaurants at Wildekrans last week-end and were greeted in a friendly and welcoming manner. On inspecting the menu, we realised we couldnt afford anything above the hamburger and thats what we ordered. The only description I have for this meal is mediocre. No garnishing, tasteless, just bread and meat. Were not pizza people so its doubtable that we would go back there anytime soon. Neither will we be inclined to refer our guests there as there are so many stunning restaurants in the area that are quite affordable and offers absolutely mouth watering meals.
Wildekrans provides a fantastic weekend retreat where you can stay in well-equipped cottages, taste wine, dine at their restaurant and enjoy the nature youre surrounded by.
Very interesting food. Beautifully presented. Great service
Great food and service....Chef Gordon really knows what he is doing
Wildekrans is magical. Whether you stay a night in the beautiful endless vineyards or just come for a wine tasting (or honey and wine tasting), or treat yourself to lunch at Forage, this farm will not disappoint you.
Stunning food service and location.
It was great and I loved it. They do really well and they have been working very hard and have really good ice cream.
Food and wine tasting was awesome. Well priced.
