As winter settles over Stellenbosch and the vineyards slow into their quieter season, there’s something especially comforting about spending time at Rust en Vrede. The cooler days invite a different kind of experience – slower, warmer, and centred around exceptional wine, food, and the timeless beauty of the estate.
Whether you are escaping for a relaxed afternoon or planning a memorable outing, our Winemaker’s Lunch offers the perfect opportunity to settle in and savour the season, with thoughtfully paired dishes and wines that reflect the character of Rust en Vrede.
This winter, guests can also enjoy our Tasting Room Estate Special: purchase a case of Estate for R4 080 and receive a voucher for two complimentary lunches.
For a more elevated occasion, our fine-dining restaurant offers an unforgettable winter escape, where seasonal flavours, refined craftsmanship, and award-winning wines come together in one of Stellenbosch’s most iconic settings. Throughout June, enjoy our Rust en Vrede Restaurant Winter Special – a 6-course menu for R990.

Winter is a special time to visit the farm – when the fireplace is lit, the gardens are lush, and each glass warms from the inside. Join us at Rust en Vrede this season and enjoy all the warmth and character the winter months bring to the estate.
