| Come for the wine, stay until sunset. At Vrymansfontein, afternoons unfold slowly between crafted Vondeling wine tastings beneath the trees, long lunches at SCAPE and relaxed family gatherings at The Shed, all framed by uninterrupted views of Simonsberg and Table Mountain.

Just 45 minutes from Cape Town, our working almond farm is a place to gather, celebrate and settle into the slower rhythm of the Cape Winelands.

| One of South Africa’s largest almond orchards makes a generous part of Vrymansfontein, grounding the farm in a working agricultural landscape that has shaped this corner of Paarl for centuries.

It’s this connection to the land that informs everything here, from the food and wine to the slower rhythm of the experience itself.

| Some celebrations deserve more than a private room. From intimate birthdays and long-table lunches to bespoke corporate gatherings, Vrymansfontein offers beautifully considered spaces, Mediterranean-inspired dining at SCAPE and handcrafted Vondeling wines, all set against the slopes of Paarl Mountain.

A destination shaped by fine wines, considered cuisine and the joy of gathering well.

| There’s a certain kind of afternoon that only exists in the Cape Winelands. Long tables under trees, a bottle opened slowly, children running barefoot across the lawn, and the sound of wood fired pizzas making their way from the oven.

At The Shed at Vrymansfontein, weekends are intentionally unhurried. Gourmet pizzas, burgers from the fire, generous braai platters and cold glasses of Vondeling wine are served against uninterrupted views towards Simonsberg and Table Mountain.

It’s laidback, family friendly and quietly beautiful in the way only the Winelands can be. Please note: The Shed experience is weather dependent and best enjoyed on sunny days.

| There’s something slightly surreal about sipping wine in Paarl while watching the outline of Table Mountain sit quietly on the horizon.

At Vrymansfontein, the view stretches endlessly, best enjoyed with a glass in hand beneath the trees at The Vondeling Tree Bar, over a long lunch at SCAPE, or alongside woodfired pizzas at The Shed as the afternoon light begins to soften.

The kind of place where one glass naturally turns into another.

| Lunch at SCAPE tends to become dinner without anyone quite noticing.

The menu leans Mediterranean in spirit but remains deeply rooted in the Cape, shaped by seasonal produce, and the kind of cooking that invites you to stay for another glass.

Expect beautifully prepared seafood, cured meats, vibrant vegetables and slow afternoons that stretch into golden evenings beneath the Paarl mountains.

At SCAPE, the pace softens naturally.

| Wine tasting at The Vondeling Tree Bar feels less like a formal tasting and more like discovering the Winelands exactly as it should be.

Set beneath the trees at Vrymansfontein, guests are guided through Vondeling’s handcrafted wines while overlooking vineyards, almond orchards and Table Mountain in the distance. A complimentary snack board accompanies each tasting, encouraging long conversations and even longer afternoons.

For an extra special experience, enquire about our Art of Excellence wine pairing featuring fine Lindt EXCELLENCE chocolates.

Whether you’re arriving for a tasting before lunch at SCAPE or settling in for the day, this is one of Paarl’s most quietly compelling wine experiences.

Our Miso Cauliflower is currently stealing the show at Scape! 🌿✨

Roasted cauliflower and a rich miso puree, topped with our house-made almond chilli crisp (sourced straight from our own almond trees), a bright squeeze of fresh lime, and those addictive pickled red onions.

It's a dish that's got guests coming back, some order it to share, others indulge solo, and plenty sneak a portion home for one more bite later. Chef Tony absolutely nailed this one. 👏

Pairs beautifully with a glass of Vondeling Babiana – we’ve got a few older vintages on hand that have aged brilliantly.
