About

Plaisir Wine Estate is a historic winery in Simondium established on the slopes of the Simonsberg mountain in 1693. We cultivate vines across decomposed granite soils to produce bottles including our Grand Plaisir White, Bordeaux red blends, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Shiraz. Beyond wine, we distill small-batch estate gin infused with hand-harvested Cape fynbos gathered on the property each season. Our tasting room serves flights of estate wines alongside pairings of cheeseboards and thin-crust pizzas. Guests can also book on-site guest rooms that include access to our swimming pool and morning breakfast in the tasting room. We welcome visitors daily along the R45 route.

Good wine and what I'd imagine would be lovely views (it was a cloudy, misty day). Not sure something with such a thin crust can be called a pizza😅, but the price was reasonable.

We stayed here in April 2026 as a couple. We were blown away by the kindness and generosity of the host and staff. Special thank you to Gale who was so informed and couldn’t do enough to help. The rooms were beautiful and the pool was lovely. We did get down to the tasting room for breakfast, which was gorgeous. The wines on this date are some of my favourite in the region. Worth a visit and a stay.

Firstly id like to mention Shaandré and her phenomenal service and knowledge on all that was served to us. I asked a little bit about the cheese and got the answers i was looking for. She is incredibly attentive and friendly. We had the cheeseboard for one. And wow! We split it between two, but what a surprise on portioning. What a great experience.
