GEUWELS RESTAURANT - A NEW CAPE‑INSPIRED CULINARY CHAPTER IN STELLENBOSCH
Geuwels Restaurant at Vergenoegd Löw - The Wine Estate is evolving. We are reimagining our taste experiences to bring you authentic, sustainably-grown farm-to-table and always seasonal Cape cuisine. Geuwels will be our celebration of South African heritage cuisine with a modern farm-to-fork twist. It will offer warm, generous hospitality and a convivial atmosphere. The service will be relaxed yet refined, focused on wine service, matching bold, flavourful dishes with a strong sense of place and the estate's merrior driven wines.
Even though renovations are underway, you can stay close to the flavour. Join us for selected wine tastings with cured charcuterie and/or artisanal cheese platters in the Wine Lounge, or enjoy a freshly made roosterkoek as an additional offering, served with our farm butter and superb preserves.
