Steenberg

A luxury destination offering some of South Africa's best wines, Steenberg Hotel & Spa, and dining at Bistro Sixteen82 and Tryn
(1986)

The Cape’s first farm, established in 1682, has come a long way from its humble beginnings. Roughly 30 minutes from the bustling heart of Cape Town, Steenberg is a destination steeped in heritage. Steenberg Farm boasts the 5-Star Steenberg Hotel & Spa, with 24 rooms encapsulating the dictum of understated luxury, offering spectacular views and discreet, personalised service. Choose from relaxed dining at Tryn or popular bistro-style fare and tapas at Bistro Sixteen82. A complete destination, the farm houses an exceptional winery, producing some of the finest Sauvignon Blanc in South Africa, along with several other celebrated varietals.

Beyond the vines, another world moves quietly through Steenberg.

A porcupine at dusk. An otter near the water’s edge. A caracal passes unseen through the farm. Bees work among the blooms, and birds find their place in the trees, wetlands and open skies.

More than 144 bird species have been recorded at Steenberg, including the Spur-winged Goose, the bird that inspired one of the farm’s oldest stories. When Catharina Ras named her home Swaaneweide, or “The Feeding Place of Swans”, it is believed she had mistaken these distinctive geese for swans.

It is a small moment of history that still feels present today, a reminder that Steenberg has always been home to more than vines.

Look closely. There is always more to discover.

Spring brings fresh energy to the kitchen at Tryn.

As new ingredients come into season, Chef Kerry and her team are preparing dishes that reflect the lighter, brighter side of dining at this time of year. New menus will bring fresh flavours to the table, with familiar attention to local produce and food made for lingering over.

Whether you join us for lunch in the garden or dinner in the original w**e cellar, the new season brings something new to look forward to at Tryn.

The art of doing less has its place at Steenberg.

Choose a chair beside the pool and stay there with a book. Order lunch when you are ready. Open a bottle of w**e and let the afternoon stretch out across the table. The gardens and vineyard views are there to enjoy, without asking anything of you.

No itinerary required.

Food made for the table draws people closer.

At Bistro Sixteen82, tapas are made for sharing, passing and returning to as the conversation moves around the table. Against the backdrop of the working w**ery, the terrace is an easy place to settle in with friends and a bottle of Steenberg w**e.

Gather for tapas, w**e and a setting that encourages you to order one more plate.

A stay at Steenberg is shaped by the subtle details.

The way the morning light falls across the original Manor House. Garden paths that draw you towards mountain and vineyard views. From fresh flowers on the table to a warm welcome to an open door to the gardens, every touch has a purpose.

The art of the plate begins with ingredients chosen for flavour, season and provenance.

At Tryn, Chef Kerry Kilpin and her team build each dish around local produce, from ingredients grown in the garden to seafood sourced through ABALOBI’s network of small-scale fishers. The kitchen brings those ingredients together with bold sauces, careful technique and the generous approach that defines Chef Kerry’s food.

Served in the farm’s original w**e cellar or out in the garden, every plate carries the same attention to where it comes from and how it is prepared.

A new vintage begins in the vineyard.

Spring brings the first buds to the vines and starts a new growing season at Steenberg. Recently planted Chardonnay vines are beginning their journey, and the established vineyard blocks prepare to carry another season’s fruit.

Vlok Hanekom, Steenberg’s Viticulturist, and his team watch these early changes with care. Timing matters at every stage, from the first signs of budburst to the decisions that guide the vines through the months ahead.

The next vintage is still some distance from the bottle, but its story has already begun in the soil, the vines and the work that happens every day in the vineyard.
