Discover the pinnacle of South African winemaking with Grootbos’ exclusive connection to the Cape Winemakers Guild (CWG), an prestigious association founded in 1982 to advance wine quality through innovation. Our lodge boasts one of the world’s largest collections of CWG wines, perfectly cellared for optimal enjoyment. Savour iconic auction stars like the Kanonkop CWG Paul Sauer; the Le Riche CWG Cabernet Sauvignon and the Newton Johnson CWG Windansea Pinot Noir as well as many more. These rare, limited-edition wines, enjoyed at their peak, elevate our bespoke tastings and wine tours to an unparalleled experience.

Our three-course à la carte menu, with expertly paired wines, caters to all palates - vegans, vegetarians, and meat lovers - featuring dishes like charred cauliflower with tahini or Cape Malay bobotie, matched with regional gems like crisp Sauvignon Blancs and world class Pinot Noirs.
The Botanical Menu, ever-evolving and tailored to guests’ needs, showcases local, foraged ingredients such as dune spinach and fynbos honey in innovative creations like wild rosemary with springbok, paired with the cellar’s finest, perfectly matured wines, to reflect the season’s best.
