About
The Cape’s first registered farm established in 1682, Steenberg is a haven of tranquility steeped in heritage just 30 minutes from the bustling heart of Cape Town. Located in the idyllic cool-climate Constantia Valley, Steenberg produces some of the finest Sauvignon Blanc, Merlot and Cap Classique in South Africa, along with other celebrated wines. It is Steenberg’s distinctive terroir which inspires wines with a strong sense of place, and which encapsulates the heritage of Steenberg.

We were Steenberg guests since more than ten years, and left a lot money as well as at the restaurant and at the winery. But today it was the worst experience ever. I asked a server, if we can buy a bottle of wine for a sundowner and drink it at the garden wall. It was around five o clock, not quite busy... „No, that’s impossible, you need to book a table at the bistro“ he answered. So we did. But after that a lot of people sat at the wall with a bottle of wine. I ask the man at the counter how that could be, he said, they broke the law... and turned around, left me alone without a word more. All the people were allowed to sit there and had fun. I was not able to talk to him anymore, he disappeared. Another waiter didn’t answer me at all. I felt extremely unwelcome. That is not the way to treat guests. It was definitely my last visit at Steenberg.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write this review. We can assure you that the manner in which you were spoken to is not the standard of Steenberg Vineyards.
The Tasting Room does not have the liquor licensing facility to be able to serve wine by the bottle and therefore may only serve tasting size portions of wine. Bistro Sixteen82 however has the ability and licensing to serve wine by the glass or bottle.
We trust you will give us the opportunity to delight you once again.

We are a group of 4, but only 3 wanted to do the wine tasting as I don’t drink wine. I was more than happy to sit with my friends with a G&T whilst they experienced the wine, but I was told no other alcoholic drinks were allowed in the area, not even soft drinks!! Are you kidding me?? We had just had lunch at the restaurant so I just assumed I could take my own drink with me, but was told absolutely not due to the ‘rules’ and there was no flexibility whatsoever.
We all found this completely ridiculous, needless to say my friends immediately cancelled their tasting (and subsequent purchases) and we went elsewhere.
Would never recommend this winery after being treated like this.

Had a tasting today on a busy busy day. Initially no seating available but Babalwa attended to us with great attention and was more than accommodating. She really did make the experience worth while with her top class service and wine knowledge.

Wine tasting was disappointing for my clients, seems the lady who presented the wines was way to busy to really pay attention to the presentation. Rattled off a few facts and quickly rushed away no passion for the product it would seem.
However the dinner was nice at the restaurant, good food and good service.

Awful, would not recommend it at all. Terrible experience. Feels like an Instagram paparazzi picture opportunity hotspot, like Beau Constantia but worse. The wines are average, I cannot recommend the wine-tasting area. Go to a wine farm that is authentic and not so pretentious.

Our wine tasting experience was fantastic - you can choose to sit inside in the lounge or outside but you will need to book.
We chose the Flagship tasting (which is complimentary for hotel guests) so were able to taste 6 of their wines which included the Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc (x2), Semillon, Nebbiolo and the Catharina Red Blend as well as a glass of the Lady R Cap Classique. We really enjoyed all the wines but loved the Chardonnay & Catharina Blend and took a couple of bottles away with us to enjoy back in the UK (or perhaps now in our quarantine hotel !!).
We much looking forward to returning as soon as we are able.

We arrived about 4.30pm on a Monday to do a tasting. We got a fabulous table outside the bistro near the pools with a gorgeous view of the mountains. Our server, Phiwe, was very friendly and helpful. There were 4 of us and we each had different tastings. I personally had the bubbly tasting (4 sparkling wines) and loved it! Phiwe was super knowledgeable and friendly and made the whole experience really fun. It was perfectly paced and the tasting servings were generous. It took about 1.5 hours total. The setting is beautiful! I highly recommend a visit here and will definitely return.

WOW! What an amazing experience at Steenberg wine farm. Not only is this a stunning venue with a beautiful tasting room, but the service was excellent. We had Wesley as our waiter and he went above and beyond. His knowledge was incredible. The wines were excellent and the story behind each wine was fascinating to hear. My brother and i were really impressed as we are wine lovers and in the industry ourselves. I will definitely recommend Steenberg to any wine lover.

Enter into a beautiful reception designed to have an impact. Such a shame the wines don't do the same. Despite going for the flagship range, they lacked depth, complexity and I lost most of the enamel on my teeth because they were so acidic. Good for cleaning drains and not much else. To be fair it is challenging finding wines of significant quality in the Constantia area because the microclimate is so much cooler and they don't get as much sunshine.
