Cape Winelands Venues

Diamant Estate

Diamant Estate is set against the dramatic backdrop of Paarl Mountain a mere 45 minutes from Cape Town. Gorgeous views extend from the front of the property; include an expanse of manicured lawns, vineyards and majestic Oak trees. You might even catch a glimmer of Table Mountain in the distance.

The Old Chapel is a small wine cellar dating from the 1700’s which has been tastefully transformed into an intimate chapel for wedding ceremonies. The Old Chapel can also be transformed into a cosy, more intimate space to hold your reception and dance party for boutique weddings.

The Lawn consists of breathtaking views, envision the sun setting over Table Mountain in the distance, old oak trees and vineyards that wrap around the area and mountains as far as the eye can see. This is an exquisite area for outside ceremonies, sundowners or even an outdoor reception. The Barn can be used in conjunction with the old chapel, as stylish glass doors separate the two spaces. The extra-large fireplace or air-conditioned facility makes this the ideal spot for a smaller event, both winter and summer.

The Main Venue is a beautifully renovated historic wine cellar that is the flagship of our function spaces. While the original Cape Dutch style was retained, the designers and architects artfully married tradition with contemporary fittings and finishes. Two large courtyards with cozy fireplaces and stylish lounge pockets, as well as a beautiful wooden and granite Bar facility complement the Main Venue. We offer a variety of packages and options at different venues on the estate. From a small, intimate wedding in The Old Chapel or The Barn, an outside ceremony and reception on the lawn, to a large celebration in the Main Venue. There is a space for each memorable moment of your special day. Click here to see more.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ There are simply not enough words in the dictionary to detail just how phenomenal Diamant is as a wedding venue. Wilmarie and John in particular, go above and beyond to make your dream day a reality. Nothing is too much effort, and the passion they have for making dreams come true is tangible. When I walked through the venue for the very first time before deciding to use it, I knew instantly that it would be where we would make our wedding happen. The attention to detail, the accommodation and the catering (Red Pepper) are simply out of this world. From the moment you check in before your wedding to the morning after, you are treated like royalty. Thank you for making our wildest dreams come true, Diamant! – Nicola and Bryan

Eikenhof Estate

Snugly enclosed by its own lush vineyards and set against the sloping hills of the Stellenbosch Winelands, newly established Eikenhof Estate is a gem of a destination for wedding celebrations, corporate retreats and leisurely family festivities. Eikenhof is a 3km scenic drive along Fischers Road, just off Bottelary Road. Centrally located between Stellenbosch, Brackenfell and Kuilsriver, the Estate is easily accessible, yet tucked away just far enough from the busy main road to make visitors feel like they have arrived at their own private and peaceful hideaway.

CAP CLASSIQUE: Eikenhof Estate boasts a modern, elegant function and wedding venue, aptly named Cap Classique, and can comfortably accommodate up to 120 people in a banqueting setup. The design of the walkway leading from the parking area to the venue is a striking match of wooden Pergola and natural stone barrier walls, creating the perfect setting for a wedding ceremony under a canopy or an ideal spot for pre-drinks and canapés. The large indoor fireplace, magnificent chandeliers and beautiful sunken in bulkheads which features its own mood lighting create an ambiance second to none. In addition, there is a covered veranda leading off the main venue with its own fireplace for guests to mingle.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Where do we even begin?!?!?! The former of our wedding planning months are no longer relevant as the Eikenhof team literally took our vision together with our incredible service provider team to pull off the most incredible day we could ever have imagine. We were venue less 1 week prior to our wedding day and through wonderful friends we had the privilege of meeting Marieta and Peter. From the moment we set foot at Eikenhof they were readily available to help, assist and do anything they could to make our day what we had envisioned it to be and BETTER! The attention to detail, communication between ourselves and our suppliers was just so refreshing, if stressed out were people, we were certainly those people. And through the storm we felt we were in they made us see the rainbow and executed on a breath-taking day nothing less than perfect. From the staffing, bar service, catering, availability of personnel, you guys were on the ball and just there at our service to assist with whatever was required.

The villa we stayed at the night before the wedding aswell as the night of the wedding was exquisite. Everything fitted our theme of our day perfectly and we were in awe of the beauty of the venue. Eikenhof certainly is a venue I would highly recommend, nestled away in the middle of the winelands, it really is a perfect venue for both intimate wedding or larger wedding settings. We felt so connected to our guests during the church service under the pergola and even during our photo session, everything felt homely and warm and perfect. Eikenhof team thank you for making our dreams come true, for going the extra mile, for easing our anxiety and executing our magical day with ease. Your professionalism and eagerness to engage your couples with so much excitement and genuine passion is a true reflection of the warm feeling you receive when visiting Eikenhof. – Cuan & Natalie

Brookdale Estate 

Brookdale Estate is as unexpected as she is enchanting. Hugged by the tranquil valley and surrounded by natural beauty, Brookdale Estate offers some of the region’s most innovative wine creations. This sprawling country estate, crowned by a Manor House which overlooks manicured indigenous gardens, wild fynbos, dipping valleys and towering hills, serves as a unique, working wine farm where imagination meets skill.

A true Cinderalla story, the estate was once overgrown and underused. The Rudd family saw its enormous potential and acquired the property with a clear vision in mind – to create a world-class country estate that produces fine and interesting wine blends using unusual varieties in a South African context. Before vines could be planted, alien vegetation had to be cleared, and the balance of nature restored. The Rudd family successfully cleared the 80 hectares of land, salvaging a block of Chenin Blanc that would become its maiden release and planted the remaining 53 hectares with indigenous vegetation and gardens for guests of the Manor House to explore. The property is also home to a Cellar, Tasting Room and Bistro.

Brookdale Estate is a truly beautiful wedding venue with a relaxed yet elegant feel. The setting is stunning, with rolling lawns and charming spaces that lend themselves perfectly to both ceremonies and celebrations. It feels like a place where every moment can be enjoyed, from heartfelt vows to the final dance! With a team that’s professional, attentive and make the whole experience feel smooth and well-organised. A lovely choice for couples looking for a memorable and stylish wedding celebration! – Alicia Nel
