A visit to Hartenberg isn’t complete without settling in for a tasting. Set on our historic wine farm in Stellenbosch, our tasting room offers a relaxed, guided experience of the wines grown in our regenerative vineyards.
You’ll taste a thoughtful selection – from fresh, expressive estate wines to rare older vintages and our flagship Gravel Hill Syrah, one of South Africa’s most distinctive Syrahs. There’s often a surprise in the line-up too: a mystery wine poured in a black glass, or something special pulled from deep in the cellar.
Our tasting options change from time to time – click below to see what we’re currently pouring.
To give each guest the time and attention they deserve, we start our final tastings one hour before closing.

This winter, step out of the ordinary and underground – into Hartenberg’s historic Underground Cellar.
Here, beneath the hillside, we serve a set, two-course lunch paired with wines from our estate. It’s warm, slow, and deeply rooted in the place itself.
Our menu is shaped by the farm and the seasons: what’s growing now, what’s tasting best, and what we’d want to eat with a glass of good wine.
Expect thoughtful dishes, generous flavours, and pairings that speak to the soil they come from.
Our paired lunches are served Saturdays and Sundays.
With only 20 seats available, booking is essential.
Please specify any dietary requirements upon booking.

Booking Essential
At Hartenberg Estate, wine and food are not separate pursuits – they’re two expressions of the same soil. Our vineyards are farmed regeneratively, with a focus on restoring life to the land rather than only taking from it.
What we grow, we do with intention.
Our food follows the same principle: honest, seasonal, and ingredient-led. We’re not a restaurant – we’re a working farm that loves to cook. Our lunches are made with what’s fresh, local, and in rhythm with our vineyards and gardens.
When you sit at our table, you’re not just tasting – you’re experiencing a place.
Join us for lunch in our tasting room or courtyard garden from Wednesday to Sunday.
Please specify any dietary requirements upon booking.
