A visit to Tokara on the crest of the Helshoogte pass is a feast for all the senses. A fusion of craftsmanship, natural materials and modern technology, the winery melds with the natural splendour of the surrounding landscape. Follow the stairs of concrete and stone to the winery where you will find the wine tasting lounge, the Tokara Restaurant and a carefully curated art collection. Greeted by spectacular views you will also be able to share in the winemaking process as the wine lounge allows candid views of the fermentation cellar. Visitors are spoilt for choice with a variety of wine tastings, including the rare opportunity to sample the Tokara XO potstill brandy and Cape Classique. If you are looking for something a bit different there is also a tutored olive oil tasting of the Tokara blended and single varietal Extra Virgin Olive Oils.
Book at table at Tokara Restaurant and experience a delicious treasure trove of contemporary South African cuisine inspired by the local countryside and farm produce. Expertly prepared by Chef Carolize Coetzee and paired with award-winning wines and dramatic views over Stellenbosch and False Bay, it’s a feast for all the senses. If you prefer something a little more informal, pop over to the Tokara Delicatessen, the estate’s gourmet food shop. It’s child-friendly and offers a seasonal menu, olive oil products and other goodies to take home. Here you can indulge in mouth-watering and hearty bistro fare, delectable pizzas and arguably the finest coffee in the Banghoek Valley. And while you satisfy your appetite, take a relaxing stroll through the picturesque sculpture garden. If you enjoy the finer things in life, come to Tokara. With various dining spaces, wine tasting and art, interlinked by gentle walks between olive groves and vineyards, Tokara is the perfect day out in Stellenbosch.
