Great food, wine was a pleasant surprise ie very good. Food is a bit pricey, but we had a lovely time. The walk was beautiful. Very quiet which was a pity and this restaurant deserves support.

Tried this place on the off chance on a Sunday and they were open ! The four of us had a lovely wine tasting experience with a delicious cheese board (which I would highly recommend) . Their Sauvignon Blanc is a winner and they have a red there that is R450 a bottle but it’s quite something and will leave you wanting more. A love lady served us and made us few right at home.

A wonderful afternoon spent enjoying the food and wine tasting of this little gem. Between Elim (3km outside) and Bredasdorp, this remote but spectacular setting is a definite must if you are in the Agulas area and looking for a wonderful wine tasting experience. The drive (we approached from Pearly Beach) is really beautiful. Once there, Keenan and his team were very attentive to our needs and demonstrated the quality and friendliness of service in the area. The current menu offering includes a breakfast and lunch option (limited but varied). The wine tasting was very good and I recommend the 2023 Sauvignon Blanc limited edition and the 2017 The Monarch (if still available). We took more than a few bottles home. We will be back!

Friendly welcome. Stunning views of vineyards. Offered us water as we entered, for the table. We had wine tasters and ordered some food. Delicious sauce with my calamari. When asked for bill was surprised at the hefty price for 1litre of water @ R52. Just a normal bottled company water.

We went for wine tasting and lunch and it was absolutely worth the visit. What a beautiful and modern place it is! On arrival we were a bit confused with the directions to the restaurant but once we were welcomed with the Beautiful Dam, and view of nature, I was convinced it’s a Hidden Gem. Very Good and delicious food . The wine tasting was insightful and Sean is clearly passionate about their wines! Zoetendal is highly recommended and they will become the Top Destination in the Overberg Region! Watch this space…
