“For 315 years Rust en Vrede has stood
peacefully among the vineyards of Stellenbosch.
Through centuries there were periods when wine was produced, but for the
last 32 years our family have specialized in producing only red wine with the
focus on Shiraz,
Cabernet and Merlot. Many accolades have been bestowed upon the estate and some
of the more memorable were when Rust en Vrede was chosen by President Nelson
Mandela to be served at the Nobel Peace Prize dinner and hosting the Queen of
Denmark for a lunch with my family at the Manor House. Rust en Vrede was
nominated as the first South African red wine in the Top 100 Wines of the World
and repeated this achieved for four consecutive years. Today Rust en Vrede
continues to be a fine example of what Stellenbosch is all about and we will
strive to be a driving force in promoting our wines, our region and ultimately
our country. You are always welcome at Rust en Vrede and on behalf of my family
and colleagues, we are looking forward to your visit.” (Jean Engelbrecht)
About the restaurant – “More so than in life,
restaurants are about balance”. Not only in food and wine, but also people. And
thus our service is as important. What makes it even more of a challenge is
when all this happens on a historic and award winning wine estate. We have
selected the right team and together we built from there, to create the finest
dining experience at a world-class venue. By the time the doors opened we had
selected the purveyors to provide the freshest ingredients and have personally
selected the wines to compliment the menu. The original cellar, a National
Monument, has been converted and our kitchen is placed “front and centre”, thus
creating an ambiance that is relaxed but vibey. We also have a
proprietor/winemaker table in a private area between or cellars which can
accommodate a maximum of 8 people. We take pride in the fact that time was
taken with well known potter, David Walters, to create the crockery,
handcrafted Riedel stemware was selected and Laguiole knives purchased, to give
you an experience you won’t soon forget.”
