A gem on the Durbanville hills wine route. Excellent wines and the restaurant offers a wonderful dining experience.PS: please make sure your times correctly reflect evening dining hours at The Farm Eatery.

QWow...what an awesome experience!! Absolutely out of this world! Beautiful location, amazing food, but the absolute best of all was the service we had from our waitress Rachel...besides knowing her way around the menu her recommendations were absolutely spot on, well done girl and thank you for an unforgettable experience!

Enjoyed a wonderful wine food combo. We enjoyed a wine tasting and then had an al fresco lunch under the trees. The squid starter was excellent and very fresh line fish was enjoyed thereafter. The service is well above average.

Its ALWAYS a pleasure to dine at #Diemersdal and celebrating my birthday there earlier this month was no exception!!! An absolute taste sensation from beginning to end!

What a nice venue and wine tasting view. On the farm, between the animals! Scenic beauty and great wines too.

There are better places to eat an expensive meal on a winery property thus the 3 stars. In this competitive set of choices this kitchen is good but not outstanding. The food is winery grade with all that this description implies. There are many well prepared innovations (both tapas or small plates and with the main meal or larger plates) using farm to fork quality ingredients. However, there is nothing coming out of the kitchen which makes a crowd beat a path to the door. The kitchen made the extra effort to prepare a vegan - gluten free menu with four choices for one of our party as well as two desserts (with advanced notice given to the kitchen). The rest of the party enjoyed the steak, fish, and sides which were very straight ahead and without surprises. The dessert choices were quite small and fewer still for the dairy intolerant. A simple slice of cake would have been a nice option to have. Generally, the challenge for the diner is that the kitchen closes at 1500 hrs., the winery is a good 50 minutes to an hour (plus) from the Cape Town CBD and the Paarl CBD (opposite directions), and no matter which way you travel this is a haul to get there and a real chore to get back if you dine past 1500 hrs. Specifically for us, the challenge on our visit was the significant service failure somewhere between kitchen and our table. The vegan guest only got one of the dishes ordered (small plates) from the custom menu, and neither the server, the kitchen, nor the manager noticed until too late in the meal to correct it. The service failure cant be excused by a slammed restaurant - the restaurant was not particularly busy. Further, the failure must have been noticed by someone with the kitchen was closing, this special item still sitting in the pass-thru. Surely it must have occurred to someone to ask what that risotto was doing still sitting under the lights. The vegan guest went home hungry as a result. Operationally, the 3 stars is a gift, because the response of the front of house team - was the manager recommending that we pay full retail and take the now stale dish home. A single star would be more appropriate here where there was a complete absence of any effort to address the hungry diner once the failure was discovered - whether because the kitchen was closing - or because of some other failures - ignoring the hungry diner cannot be justified at this particular level of food service. A winery restaurant charging R500 for a steak - really needs to have a plan of some kind for handling a major service failure like this one. The plan shouldnt include a shrug or worse (indifference). The 3 stars are an acknowlegement that food service is a team enterprise and the failure here was major but not complete. If you are a tourist with limited time to spend then there are better winery restaurants to choose closer to the Mother City or the Winelands. You really dont need to drag yourself out to Diemersdal for a workmanlike meal and somewhat blase service.

Amazing food. Atmosphere lovely and staff friendly! Lovely experience. Thank you Diemarsdal wine estate. The Chefs food is stunning and delicious. 5 stars to the Chef too.

Absolutely amazing lunch, and that Pinotage is something special!

My most favourite Sauvignon Blanc

Had my birthday lunch here and it was so delicious and value for money. The presentation and tastes are incredible and the tapas is not to be missed

I visited their Farm Eatery restaurant for a Sunday lunch with friends. The dining setting is intimate and relaxed. They offer a set 3 coarse menu which changes on a regular basis. We had chicken, lamb kebabs and veggies as a main meal. Everything was delicious including the cucumber ice cream included in the dessert. The meal cost R275 a decent price for whats on offer. The portions are enough for four to share. Arrive hungry and enjoy the lake and scenery views outside the restaurant after your meal with a glass of wine. Its worth it.

Great range of quality wines. Sauvignon Blancs are outstanding. Enjoying an informative tasting overlooking the vineyards

Decent wine. We tried to buy a meet platter at the restaurant that’s 20M away but they where not very cooperative. Didn’t seem to be interested in selling anything. When we did the wine tasting they were very slow with giving us the next one so we ended up going back and forth to the bar every time. Very pretty place but they could put a little more effort in to it.

The setting outside is intimate enough for a romantic Saturday or Sunday picnic. Luscious green lawns for the kids to run around and explore and the food is mouthwatering and the delectable wine selection will smooth even the most sophisticated pallets.Set in the tranquil Durbanville winelands its really worth a visit. Ample parking wit wheelchair access to the restaurant.

Very friendly and good tasting. Restaurant did not meet expectations from last visits.

At the spur of the moment decided to visit Diemersdal and what a fantastic experience! Best Tapas we have had yet. Every dish blew my socks off. Will definitely be back when we can enjoy the menu with wines.

Amazing wines, scenery and cheese platter! Friendly and helpful staff.

I know we are going into winter months, but the new 2021 Sauv. Blanc is remarkable! So good, so crisp, so fruity, so delicious! Can taste the difference to 2020. Such value for money, especially on the wine club. Free delivery now too, over a certain amount is just epic. High fives

Very good food and atmosphere. The friendly staff were very slow.They charge for small things like extra bread and were unhappy about me bringing in a bottle of water from my car even though I purchased another 4 bottles of water from them and spent a lot on wine.Another table was also unhappy that they were charged for butter. Nandoes gives free butter, I think Diemersdal could do the same.

When visiting Cape Town, I recommend spending a Sunday afternoon tasting wine at Diemersdal Wine Estate. Make sure to order their cheese plate!

Wow what an awesome fine dining experience. The food was fantastic and so well plated. I would like to thank Michelle for making our experience a memorable one.

Really lovely wine tasting. The venue is beautiful - we chose to sit outside under the vines - and the wines were great. Our waitress was knowledgeable about the wines and we shared a cheese platter which was generous enough for 4 to share. Highly recommend.

Wine tasting was extremely cheap (R25 for 6 wines) and had a good range of wines to choice from. Beautiful view and good seating inside or outside. Service was a bit lacking but I guess with the price you pay its okay. Ordered a cheese board platter and it was simply out of this world and was really decently price for what you got. After ordering the platter the service picked up and was much better. Overall experience was good.

Great wines, amazing food, excellent service this is such a lovely place. One of the best winery we have been visited...

Even though we werent able to enjoy some wine with our meal, our experience at Diemersdal Farm Eatery was one we will never forget. Donovan, our waitor, recommended the most amazing dishes and his service was so professional. We cant wait to go back!!

Fantastic wine and beautiful setting.

Probably one of the best wine tastings, if not the best wine tasting in Durbanville, but only thanks to Lucindy. Extremely knowledgeable and even made us a hand written list of the Top 10 wines.

What an amazing wine tasting. Hein was so knowledgeable and even though Ive done many wine tastings I learned so many new things. Thanks Hein was really awesome!

They do produce some great and affordable wines. Inside wine tasting area is very small with only a few chairs. But the outside has a couple of benches and some lawn.

What an exceptional experience. Food, service, wine. Definitely recommend 👍🏻 Donovan’s recommendations were all incredible ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Love the wine

We love the wine, just needs a designated playground for kids to keep them busy.

Enjoyable Sunday lunch with extended family. I booked this on short notice, day before and luckily got a table. Lovely for summer. Not too much for kids but sufficient. Food is served in dishes for the table which is quite nice for a Sunday lunch. Everything was enjoyable. As we don’t eat pork they swapped this out for a beef fillet dish which was sublime.

Amazing experience with knowledgeable wine makers and a generosity of spirit!

Enjoyed my time at Diemersdal Wine Estate. Great wine tasting at an affordable price. Wines are of great quality and the staff are very knowledgeable - We kept our waiter busy with questions and he seemed very interested and willing to answer! The cheese and biltong platter is delicious and they do not hold back on portions (can serve 4 people). It would be wise to book in advance as they can get busy. Restaurant on site as well - Looking forward to visiting again!

What a pleasure!Every time we have a ball!Great wines, lovely scenery, friendly staff, good food.I recommend with all my heart.

Went there twice. Second time we visited my vegan teenager went with to the Diemersdal Farm Eatery. They didnt have vegan food on the menu so the chef made a special vegan menu which they printed on the spot especially for my daughter. Such service deserves five stars. To top it all the food was both delicious and aesthetically plated.The restaurant has an indoor area which is intimate and warm as well as a homely outdoor area for sunny days.The wines are also great and can be bought at the shop (tasters offered).

Lovely wine farm set just outside Durbanville. Indoor and outdoor seating for wine tasting. White, red and rosy wines available for tasting. Wine sales at reasonable prices on the farm. Staff very helpful and friendly. Ample parking on the farm.

Great service! Excellent wine!

Just the right balance.

My favourite estate while on holiday!

Perfect marriage of food, wine and service. Truly a treasure for any foodie. Well done Chef Martin and Team Eatery!

We had an absolutely wonderful anniversary dinner here. The food is so delicious and the service is fantastic. The chef even surprised us with an anniversary dessert! Really such a special touch, we loved it - highly recommend!

Great tasting wine with a relaxed atmosphere. Friendly service.

Lovely food and wonderful service. We had the tapas menu and were very impressed. Restaurant is in a lovely setting in an old farm building. Very enjoyable.

Amazing spot

Very nice, good view, excellent staff, good food, all around excellent experience.

Awesome wines, lovely venue. Outside seating area is a bit small but a great place to sit on a warm sunny day. Inside is unmemorable.

What a Gem! Wine tasting and sales staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Our happy place to pop in for a glass of wine and cheese board!

Great wine, great scenery. The perfect sunday family experience

Great bistro with creative and interesting dishes using seasonal ingredients. Very reasonably priced. Great wines.

Wonderful experience from staff to wine to platters!

The cullinary light at the end of the miserable Northern Suburbs tunnel! Every bight and absolute delight. Wonderful setting and of course the fabulous wine helps a little as well.

Hands down Diemersdal makes the best Bordeaux blend Ive ever had.

Stunning old wine farm, wines excellent, at R25 per tasting, very reasonable, platters very nice

Great service and top notch meals! For sure worth a visit, its a lovely venue!

Beautiful wine farm. Best option for wine tasting and food around...

Always a great experience. Fantastic views, super service, great wines. Relaxing vibe.

Great wines, not a great vibe at the tasting room.

Having had great experiences from Diemersdal before, we decided to have an unplanned, Friday lunch at Diemersdals restaurant.We arrived at 14:00 and were greeted by a very friendly Rudi. Tables outside were full but they had some space available inside. With the lovely weather Cape town was experiencing, and us wanting to enjoy that, Rudi suggested putting us on a waiting list for the outside tables. We were nr2 on the list. While waiting for a table, he suggested us having a nice wine tasting on the above patio, which we decided to do.While enjoying the wine tasting we were eagerly awaiting some tables to open up. We decided to order a small cheese board to ease the greatest hunger.Eventually a table open up and we eagerly awaited someone to call us for what seemed like ages. I decided just to follow up and make sure they havent forgotten about us. To my suprise, when enquiring about the available tables, I was very enthusiastically informed :oh our kitchen closed at 15:00.When we initially put our names on the waiting list, we were NEVER informed the risk we would be taking as the kitchen was closing in a hours time. Should we have been informed, we would have opted to sit inside. When the kitchen did close and we were left waiting, no one had the courtesy to inform us at all.In the end, we decided not to even finish our winetasting. We left at 4pm, having paid for 2 winetastings and a cheese plate we didnt want, extremely hungry and more than dissapointed.I would not be returning and neither recommending Diemersdal to anyone

If you havnt been to Diemerdal and love great wine and gourmet meals youre in for a real treat. I love the tapas dish they serve at the restaurant and their Private Collection is the prize winner. Well appart from the MM Louw off course. If you can afford R290 a bottle go for it....its worth every penny.

Beautiful setting.lovely wines.but food very pricey

Excellent Wine🍷 Excellent food🥗 Highly Recommend 🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅

Love the private collection!

Sauvignion Blanc is awesome and cheesce platter great too. Very tasty!!

Everything a wine farm should be

Good service

Offering great wines

I am enjoying Pinotage Reserva 2019 with my wife Diemerstal, I can only recommend it, sorry, its just awesome

The Sauvignon Blanc is a wine with a wonderful bouquet. We drink it frequently and are always delighted.

Staff very welcoming and attentive to our needs. The property is magnificent and the red wine is of very high quality, considering the price you can go there with your eyes closed, however white wine is rather common.

Great service and products
