My wife and I were impressed with the wine we purchased for lunch but felt that the waitress over sold the food. We ordered the tempura calamari and creamy mussels and the waitress made out as if they were very small potions and suggested we order small bread loves and dips whereupon we ordered chicken liver pate and basil pesto. We ended up with half of the food being packed as a takeout. Really not needed. The quality and presentation of the food was great. Just too much.

Bramon is a must-visit wine estate when you are in Plett. The wine is fantastic, the food is incredible, and having lunch among the vineyards is a truly special experience. Our waitress was professional, friendly, and welcoming, which added to the relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere. From start to finish, everything was excellent, making Bramon a place you’ll want to return to and happily recommend.

Awesome lunch at Bramon! Delicious food tapas style. Cap classique was also nice (from Sauvignon blanc, not the best but good)! Very cool to sit amongst the vines

We wasn’t fortunate enough to stay… but our wine tasting, food and time on the beautiful Bramon estate was over far too soon. The staff were very friendly and accommodating to say the least. The Chenin Blanc is all I’ve thought about drinking since leaving and I can’t wait to return. Make sure you pre book your table in front of the vineyard!

Another perfect lunch at Bramon Wine Estate! Absolutely incredible food paired with their lovely bubbly MCC. Stunning views of the mountains while sitting in the vineyard. Great service from their friendly staff and was honoured by a visit from Poppy, the resident cat.

Wonderful spot. Best wine that we had from the wine estates we visited and food was incredible. You can choose small plates and create your own picnic. Calamari was a winner!!

Although the outdoors looks all beautiful and ideal, it was impossible to eat there due to bees :( We tried so hard to get a table outside and we ended up changing to the inside. Food was good. Dessert was ok, we ordered the deconstructed lemon cheesecake and it would have been better without the chocolate syrup. It's a terrible addition for that dessert

Lovely nestled wine farm in Plett. Their unique MCC Sauvignon Blanc is a must try and their creamy mussel soup was absolutely divine. Their freshly baked bread was also incredibly delicious. *Chefs kiss* And the service was also great. Definitely well worth the visit.
