Wonderful wine experience at Delheim estate

Oct 2023 • business

We really enjoyed our fabulous wine tasting today with August. We were at the Delheim estate for a business/private tasting, selecting wines for our new boutique winery in East Africa. Comfortably seated at the terrace with an award winning view, we were tasting a great selection of wines presented & explained by August. Several of these wines made our shortlist. We were very impressed by the wild fermented Chenin. Compliments to Delheim and thank you August!

Always a pleasure

Mar 2022 • none

As the first winery to offer food with their wine tastings, Delhi has long earned a place with the most sympathetic eatery. The menu offers something for everybody and of course you will want to have a glass of their wonderful wine. Service by Lauren was excellent and attentive. Food was of excellent quality (lamb shank). A special mention of August, the wine advisor, who (when passing our table) immediately saw our wine had been served too chilled and who ever so elegantly addressed the issue with us, offering to replace the bottle with a room temperature one. He also offered us to come and taste two wines after our meal, which we did with pleasure. We shall return hopefully!

One of our favorites

Oct 2021 • none

Delheim has been our very first winery we visited more than 25 years ago and we still love to come back here. They were also the first to start serving food with wine tastings. The terrace has a great view of table mountain and the gardens are very well maintained. Parking attendant always friendly. Our waitress Siya was a treasure, she took excellent care of us and was personable, friendly and knowledgeable. The food was very tasty, the wines excellent. Will come again!

Great location and service, food not so much

Nov 2021 • none

We have been going to Delheim for more than 40 years and have always had a great experience. But we have not been for a while, because of Covid. Based on past experience, we invited guests for lunch today. The welcome and front of house service was excellent. Friendly and attentive. As usual the wines were great and well priced. Of course the location and ambience is great. However, that is where the compliments end. The menu is limited and as our guests are meat lovers, we suggested that they try the lamb shank, but after seeing the dish at neighbouring tables, they went for the burgers instead. They just could not get themselves to have us pay R250 for what they saw. The burgers were apparently tasty, but at the price the small handful of sweet potato fries seemed stingy. We have often had the cheese and meat platter before, but this time we were really not impressed. There were four small ramekins with fish pate, a butternut relish, a few olives and some hard potato chips. Then four slices of salami, two slices ham, a slice of apple and peach each and two slices of cucumber. Also two small dolmade which were more leaf than filling because of the small size. Then a few pieces of cheese and four huge slices of bread which dominated the plate. What was on the plate was mostly good but definitely not generous. Especially the ramekins which barely gives each person a teaspoon of pate or relish each. We had recently had a platter at a mid-high end outside venue near Durbanville which was far more generous in variety and quantity for significantly less money, so comparison was inevitable. Perhaps a visit to the nearby Muratie (which was very busy) will give perspective. When it came to desert that it was obvious that the kitchen had given up. The cheesecake was a smallish slice of quite hard cake on a white plate. That's it. No attempt at any garnish to make it look more attractive. Equally the ice cream was a disaster. A plate containing a sugar cone with a small ball of vanilla ice cream and two scoops of pinotage ice cream which was almost completely melted when served. Again no attempt at making it look attractive. I did mention price a few times. I do not mind paying for quality, but the perceived value must be there. Unfortunately we did not this time experience the generosity Delheim was known for in the past.

Beautiful setting and pleasant meal

Jan 2025 • couples

We had lunch here as part of a winetasting tour. We opted to eat outside in the beautiful garden although it was little on the cool side. I had the lamb shanks, my partner the curry. They were excellent. We opted for the basic wine tasting and wish we had chosen the more expensive option as the wines we tried were unremarkable. Friendly atmosphere with well behaved dogs and children playing together. Very lovely surroundings.

Low key winery worth a visit!

Jan 2024 • couples

We really enjoyed our lunch in the restaurant of Delheim Winery. We were given a table in the garden under the shade of some trees and loved the atmosphere. Here we have a winery that is not so commercial like (most) wineries in Stellenbosch. The owners were there also and assisting in the service unlike most of the picture perfect wineries we had visited so far. The Ostrich Bobotie was delicious and service friendly and attentive.

Disappointing Delheim

Jan 2020 • none

We visited Delheim for breakfast this morning. The experience started well as the venue and the view are attractive. However that was where the experience began to deteriorate. We ordered the Chef's breakfast and after waiting almost an hour, felt obliged to complain whereupon our waitress explained that " there were other people before you". When it arrived, the breakfast was average at best. We won't be visiting again.

Lovely place for a special lunch!

Dec 2021 • friends

We had a lovely lunch outside towards the end of December. It was a special occasion meeting long-time friends after a long gap. Sitting outside in a beautiful setting plus highly attentive, friendly service made it especially pleasant. In particular, Pauline was very kind and helpful in providing access for one of our party. We enjoyed the food - 3 of us had the chicken curry - and the wine but the highlights were the very special environment. Thank you.

A happy atmosphere to meet friends and family for wine tasting and lunch.

Mar 2022 • family

Delheim has a welcoming ambience set amidst beautiful gardens. Sitting under old vines with family and friends with views as far as Lions Head is a memorable experience. The wine tutor, Buhle, was knowledgeable and engaging. We snacked on the cheese platter which was amazing, followed by a delicious lunch in beautiful surroundings

Cupcake and Wine tasting defn underrated! We had such an awesome time and we got taste explotions throughout the tasting! What we love about this venue, it is unpretensious, no fancy settings, but the service and food is where the magic happens!

Outstanding!

Jan 2020 • none

16 of us on a tour had lunch + wine tasting on a pleasant afternoon. The servers and the sommelier were fantastic, the food delicious, and the setting beautiful! Sometimes with a group this size, it is hard to provide smooth service. Not a problem here! I had the ostrich bobotie burger and my wife had the bratwurst. Both were well-prepared, delicious, and came in a huge portion! The others in our group all seemed to enjoy their meals as well. The flight of wines we had surprised me a bit in that my favorite was the Gewurztraminer. It had wonderful fruit and was not too sweet. Overall, a wonderful experience!

A quiet and picturesque place to have food and wine with loved ones.

Apr 2022 • family

The food was excellent. The staff was very helpful and made sure that we spent a good time. The majestic views of the surrounding rainforest with the distant mountain range in the background make this place an idyllic location to spend time with your family and loved ones. Not to forget the wine which was excellent...

As a local I am disgusted.

Feb 2025 • friends

What a horrible experience this wine farm gave my friends from Netherlands and Germany. I am disgusted to hear how the staff treated them as well as the type of service. I highly do not recommend this and feel so embarrassed that I sent them there.

An excellent choice for lunch

Feb 2020 • couples

Great location (but not signposted on the 44 road going south from N1: turn off left at the Knorhoek signposted Road). Good food and wine. Outdoor tables. My chicken curry sublime: OH’s lamb shank slightly less so. Wines good. A great choice and we’d return.

Great Food and Wine

Oct 2022 • none

Wine tasting and lunch in a beautiful setting, amazing views. We were served by Kenneth. What a fountain of knowledge this gentleman has! We shared a meal after the wine tasting and then took a stroll around the place. Absolutely amazing. This boutique Winery is off the beaten track, but well worth the visit. If all the staff are like Kenneth they have a winning recipe.
