Trails, tastings, weddings and private celebrations across our 330-year-old estate.
On the farm
Pay-as-you-go access to the farm — for riders, hikers and everyone in between.
Ride the slopes
Purpose-built singletrack carved into the granite slopes, linking estate jeep track to flowing forest descents. Permits are day-rate and include a complimentary Estate tasting back at the cellar to put the climb in perspective.
Sunday Brunch Hikes
Following the success of last summer's Full Moon Hikes, we're continuing to build outdoor lifestyle experiences at Plaisir. Sunday Brunch Hikes are relaxed, curated mornings on the estate: arrive for a short welcome and briefing, then hike at your own pace along the marked Meulstroom trail to the viewpoint, where a picnic-style atmosphere awaits with scenery, fresh air, coffee and refreshments before you make your way back to the parking area.
Visit the Estate
Step into our tasting room beneath the old oaks and settle in for an unhurried afternoon of discovery. Every wine on the farm is poured here — from the quiet confidence of our Estate range to the layered complexity of our flagship library releases.
Our guided tastings are intimate and generous. We love pairing our wines with beautiful local things — think handcrafted dark chocolate that brings out the cedar notes in our reds, and soft nougat that mirrors the honeyed warmth of our Chenin Blanc.
For something more substantial, our delicious cheese and charcuterie boards are the perfect companion to your tasting — carefully curated local cheeses, cured meats and artisanal accompaniments that pair beautifully with every pour.
Signature Experience
Discover a side of Plaisir few ever see.
The Plaisir Vineyard Safari Experience is a bespoke guided journey through the estate's vineyards, conservation landscapes and mountain terrain, culminating in an exclusive wine tasting at our hidden mountain deck.
Beginning at Griffon's Den, guests are welcomed before embarking on a private off-road adventure through the estate. Along the way, stories of Plaisir's rich heritage, vineyards and natural landscape unfold, revealing breathtaking viewpoints and hidden corners of the estate inaccessible by conventional routes.
At the summit, guests enjoy a curated tasting of Plaisir wines accompanied by a generous cheese and charcuterie platter while taking in panoramic views of the Cape Winelands.
Rooted in over 300 years of heritage and refined by nature, this unique experience offers an unforgettable combination of adventure, wine, hospitality and discovery.
Coming soon
Something special is taking shape beneath the oaks. A new restaurant is coming to Plaisir — a farm-to-table experience rooted in the rhythms of the valley, with seasonal menus drawn from the garden, the farm, and the surrounding Banhoek.
Long lunches, estate wines, and views that stretch across the vineyards to the Simonsberg ridgeline. We're not quite ready to open our doors — but we can't wait to welcome you to the table.
Watch this space.
