Join us this Easter Sunday for a relaxed farm-style lunch at Groot Phesantekraal, where generous seasonal dishes, heritage flavours and warm hospitality set the tone for a memorable afternoon.

Join us for Easter Sunday on the farm
Celebrate Easter Sunday with a relaxed farm-style lunch at our farm-to-fork restaurant on Sunday, 5 April from 12h00 to 15h30 (R550 per person).
The menu begins with freshly–baked farm breads, seasonal butter, olives and pickled vegetables, followed by a choice of starters including pickled fish pâté with gooseberry chutney or glazed beef tongue with spiced carrot cake and pickled mustard seeds.
Mains are served to the table and include roasted beef sirloin, braised lamb and pea pies, smoked pork loin and spinach, kale and smoked feta borek, with classic farm–style sides.
Dessert offers tansy pudding or spiced Easter Basque cheesecake.
Estate wines will be available to purchase.

The human element
What makes a farm truly exceptional? For Joan Adonis, it's simple: "Onse mense" – our people. Having spent 25 years at Groot Phesantekraal, Joan's journey from vineyard worker to frontwoman and head of the farm's butchery reflects not only personal growth, but the deep sense of community that defines life on the farm. Her story is one of passion, resilience and pride, shaped by the people she works alongside every day.
Set on the outskirts of Durbanville, our legacy stretches back to 1698, but its true strength lies in its people and shared purpose. From a growing, multi-generational family business to a close-knit team on the ground, it's a story of dedication, opportunity and progress.
