The offer starts on 1 May all the way through 30 September 2019 for lunch or dinner at R350 for the 4-course menu, R425 with Cavalli wine pairing and the 4-course vegetarian menu at R300 or R375 paired with Cavalli wine.

Five years after opening to the public, Cavalli Estate in the Stellenbosch winelands has evolved into a versatile lifestyle destination deftly combining food, wine and art.

‘Cavalli’ may be the Italian word for ‘horses’ but this stylish winelands estate, offers so much more than the world-class equestrian facilities that grace the long driveway leading into the 100-hectare estate.

 At the centrepiece of the farm remains the Cavalli Restaurant, which takes full advantage of the remarkable setting.

 It’s a space bathed in natural light, with floor-to-ceiling glass doors opening out to a spacious terrace. Beyond the tables, the views spill out across the farm dam, vineyards and paddocks; a scene framed by views of the distant Helderberg Mountains.

Head Chef Michael Deg has held the reins of the Cavalli kitchen since 2017, cementing the restaurant’s reputation for seasonal, produce-led cuisine. It’s refined food without the frills, Deg’s elegant presentation never resorting to smoke and mirrors. His is a considered style of cooking, borne of years working in high-end restaurants both at home and abroad. 

Bookings are limited to a maximum of 15 guests.

Cavalli Restaurant is open from Wednesday to Saturday for lunch and dinner, as well as Sundays for lunch only. For bookings email the reservation team on [email protected]
