Welcome to The Bistro & Tasting Room at Brookdale Estate!

Ours is a true Cinderella tale … What was once a forgotten vineyard, overgrown and underused, is now a significant site for exceptional wines, creative cuisine, and abundant beauty.

Here, delicious menus designed by seasoned Executive Chef, Gary Coetzee, are brought together with wines grown on the surrounding vines and vinified by winemaker, Kiara Scott Farmer.

We have selected a blend of varietals for our vineyards and locally-sourced ingredients for our menus that honour the region, whilst showcasing new ideas, combinations and techniques.

Sip, taste, savour and discuss our minimalistic, terroir-driven wines which accompany dishes inspired by international flavours and local produce.

The Bistro at Brookdale promises a relaxed, contemporary Cape Winelands dining experience. Expect beautiful, soulful dishes, enjoyed with our wines, while at the Tasting Room, you will sample the latest terroir-driven vintages from our cellar made in ever-evolving styles.

Open your mind, and palate, to the possibility of the Paarl Winelands and Stay Curious...

    Enjoyed another amazing lunch with friends yesterday at this stylish Bistro. Sublime cooking by chef Gary. I had the kabeljou fish which was well-cooked, translucent, and flaked when using a fork. Served with elegant unpretentious fresh ingredients. The freshness of the fish and the punchy sauce hit the right notes of exploration of flavors. My friends were extremely appreciative of their yummy dishes ranging from game meat to filet steaks served with scrumptious fat chips. You guys never disappoint!! ❤️
