Wine, Lawns & Laid-Back Luxury at Buitenverwachting

Discover the charm of Buitenverwachting Wine Farm in the Constantia Valley — known for its excellent wines, generous charcuterie boards, and relaxed picnic lunches on the lawn. A must-visit spot just a short drive from our guesthouse Windsor House, in Tokai.
Buitenverwachting is one of the Constantia Valley’s most charming wine farms and is one of my personal favourites. Their wines are not only beautifully crafted but also very well priced, making tastings here a real treat. Pair your glass with one of their famous charcuterie boards, loaded with artisanal cheeses, cured meats, fresh fruit, and home- made preserves - a true feast for the senses.
For a more laid-back experience, order one of their picnic lunches (available in the summer months ) and enjoy it on the open lawns beneath the estate’s grand old trees. Whether you're in the mood for a romantic afternoon or a relaxed outing with friends, Buitenverwachting offers the perfect blend of good food, great wine, and scenic serenity.
In the winter months - they have a lovely indoor fireplace which is cosy, and warm whilst enjoying some of the finest reds Cape Town has to offer!
