Wijnhuis is a restaurant in the historic center of Stellenbosch, with a wine list that focuses on the district’s vineyards while also including selections from other parts of the Western Cape. The building, recently renovated, shares space with the South African design studio and the adjacent Stellenbosch Wine Bar, which operates separately.

You can eat outdoors under oak trees or in the open-air courtyard. The upstairs bar and function area host private events. The restaurant draws a mix of students, tourists, businesspeople, and families. Artworks from the neighboring SMAC Art Gallery, representing South African and African artists, hang on the walls.

The wine list reflects the region’s varied climates and grape varieties, with Stellenbosch wines at the center. The kitchen serves lunch through the afternoon, and the courtyard fills when the weather allows.
