A Gourmet Lunch Break on the Garden Route at Bramon Wine Estate

Bramon Wine Estate

One of my favourite lunch time venues on the Garden Route is the wonderful restaurant at Bramon Wine Estate.  Situated 20 kms east of Plettenberg Bay at The Crags, this delightful eatery is set in the vineyards.

This stylish and charming venue has shady tables where you can dine right in amongst the vines in the summer.  In the winter the central fire place creates a cosy and warm atmosphere.

A must for tapas lovers, the warm, freshly baked breads, for which Bramon is famous, may be combined with the tapas spread.

The menu is extensive with lots of interesting things to choose from. With the emphasis on freshness and flavour, all are superbly prepared and served. 

Tapas include salads, dips and pate, meats, fish and seafood, soup, and cheeses with figs and nuts, and sauces.  

Delicious preserves of watermelon, green fig and onion marmalade.

A lovely way to spend a lazy afternoon at Bramon Wine Estate is to enjoy a picnic under a tree by the dam.  Family and dog friendly, you can select your own gourmet treats and wine to fill your basket.

Let’s not forget the wines from the Estate either.  The Bramon MCC is excellent and, if in stock, I always buy a bottle or two when passing buy.

A Trendy Setting for a Function at Bramon Wine Estate

Bramon Wine Estate caters for functions, weddings, corporate and team building events and gigs, with gourmet food paired with their award winning wines.

The cathedral-like cellar is a great place for an event with a difference.  The acoustics are highly rated and guests can sit between the vats and wines of a working cellar. 

The tasting room is a great place to relax and discuss the wines with Bramon Wine Estate’s wine maker, Anton Smal.

About us

Actually, Home Food and Travel offers a lot more than just reviews of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities.  We also visit great destinations, receive advice from interior designers and stop to smell the roses and taste the coffee.

Our team of journalists are seasoned travels and love visiting the myriad of exciting places around South Africa.  Whether it is off the beaten track or in the heart of the top attractions of the country, we’ll be there,

Home Food and Travel advice on finding the right accommodation

So what is the right accommodation?  Well more often than not, it’s your travel budget that dictates the type of accommodation that you choose. 

Expensive is not always better.  Our team at Home Food and Travel will tell you that they have camped in areas with limited ablutions and had a wonderful holiday.  They have also spent a night in a five star hotel only to be disappointed because their expectations exceeded the experience.

The reason for your travels will also affect your choice.  A business trip requires different amenities to a beach holiday. 

Our articles, reviews and experiences can certainly help you make your decision.

Restaurants with a good mix of service, food and ambiance

To my mind a great restaurant offers three things – excellent service, great food and a wonderful ambiance.  Of these, service is the most important. 

No matter that the food is delicious and the setting delightful, poor service can ruin the occasion.  However, great service combined with mediocre meal and a plane jane restaurant can still be a pleasant night out.

We’ve eaten in restaurants that are really dirty but with incredible food and couldn’t help but give a rave review.  We’ve also hardly noticed what we ate because the setting was just amazing.

However, the best restaurants come with the best of service, food and ambiance.

Spas are the ultimate relaxation aid

How do you know when you have had a great spa experience?  The answer, of course, is when you doze off on the treatment table. 

Well that’s our theory anyway.  It also doesn’t take a grand location with enormous facilities for a spa to be really good

A small, personal spa that is owner run can result in the best massage you have ever experienced.  However, the grand spas in five star hotels offer unsurpassed facilities in an environment that just makes the stress in your shoulders and neck melt away before you even finish checking in.

Adventure!

You don’t have to be an adrenaline junky to enjoy an exciting experience.  In fact, what are commonly termed adventure activities usually have incredibly high safety standards and unblemished safety records.

Ziplining, bungy jumping and shark cage diving are all very safe.  It’s just that our mind tells us we are craaazzzzyyyy to be doing this.

On the road to great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities

If you’re driving, be safe and make use of all the wonderful farm stalls that populate South Africa’s open roads.

If you overhear somebody asking a lot of questions or see someone taking photos of empty bedrooms chances are it’s one of our Home Food and Travel team members.

We’re out looking or those great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities.

See you on the road!
