Grape Vines can be cultivated in the Garden Route & Bramon Wine Estate is the know how, being the only Wine Estate along the Garden Route, believe it or not.
Since the year 2000, when the farm began, the family-run Bramon Wine Estate have pioneered vineyards to produce quality easy drinking wines, being honoured with the Vertias Award for their unique, one of a kind in the country, Sauvignon Blanc ~ Method Cap Classique, as well as producing 2 types of Rose, a Chardonnay, a Sauvignon Blanc and a Pinotage. Wine tasting is definitely encouraged & recommended and should a bottle, or few, tickle your fancy Bramon sell their wines to the public at very good prices or just to enjoy over a lunch. The menu includes a variety of cold meats, cheeses, and pates seved with homemade bread as well as an option of dolmades, oysters & ice-cream or sorbet for desserts – all foods are fresh and I highly recommend their local trout pate & parma ham.
If the weather is favourable or not Bramon offers tables in their garden surrounded by the vines & under large umbrellas or sit inside their sophisticated restaurant which overlooks the garden area. One cannot help to absorb this very special place with the easy farm life atmosphere, Bramon is also child & pet friendly which allows for the family-oriented vibe to come through from the owners, Caroline & Peter, who take very good care of their patrons. Caroline was more than accomodating & happily shared the history of farm & wine, assisting with our wine tasting selecions & making sure we were always smiling and drinking. The overall service is outstanding. Sunday is the busiest day so book beforehand, especially if you want an outside table of your choice.
