Cosy atmosphere with a roaring fire and attentive service. A bottle of the Chenin comes in at 95 ZAR which is super affordable and Sauvignon Blanc at just over 100 and very quaffable! Tried the cheese platter which was underwhelming at 190 ZAR.
Enjoy our sustainably crafted wines, tastings, and tapas-style dining
Backsberg Family Wines is a winery in Franschhoek, a family-owned estate since 1916. We offer a refreshed portfolio of wines for tastings, alongside tapas-style dining, and wine sales at our re-opened facility in the Franschhoek Valley. As South Africa's first certified carbon-neutral winery, we craft our wines with care for the employee, the product, and the land.

Service is great, wine was good and view is stunning would send anyone there for a wines tasting.... did not eat but the food that came out looked really yummy.
What an amazing place! Difficult to find as it is very hidden behind Franschhoek Cellars. Once there, you have this amazing view, incredible wines and wonderful staff. Awesome wine pairing and well worth a visit... will be back for sure. Thanks, Clarien... ❣️❣️🍷🍷
I had the pleasure of visiting Backsberg Family Wines yesterday, and it was a truly delightful experience. From the moment I arrived, I was captivated by the estate’s aesthetics—beautifully maintained with a perfect blend of classic charm and modern elegance. The ambience was warm and inviting, making it an ideal setting to relax and enjoy quality wine. The hospitality was top-notch, with staff who were both knowledgeable and genuinely welcoming. They took the time to share insights about the wines, enhancing the tasting experience. Speaking of the wines—each one I tried was a standout, reflecting the passion and craftsmanship that goes into their production. Overall, Backsberg offers an excellent balance of great wines, a stunning setting, and wonderful service. I’ll definitely be making another visit soon!
Lovely setting! Wine advisers were all knowledgeable and friendly. Views were stunning and the lawn games are an added benefit. We did the Express Tasting which was great value for money. The staff were great at recommending wines and explaining their offering. Our waitress Carine was lovely and did a great job. We thoroughly enjoyed our whole experience. Lovely outdoor seating with plenty of umbrellas for shade and fire pits for colder evenings. Will definitely return! Great job Backsberg!
