Restaurant: Seasons at Diemersfontein, is a bright fresh contemporary restaurant set in the heart of the Wellington winelands.

Seasons offers panoramic views over the farm dam and horse paddocks across to surrounding mountain ranges and Paarl Rock. Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, Seasons' menu offers a variety of dishes using fresh, local and seasonal produce. Our Chef has put together a breakfast/brunch menu that is both original and delicious and another great reason for visiting Wellington in the winelands.

Our Head Chef, Johan van Schalkwyk
whose early work experience at a chateau in Normandy, France awoke him to the delights of creating dishes with whatever ingredients were available in the chateau gardens and surrounding farms, is excited by the prospect of tapping into whatever the fertile Wellington valley and the Manor House gardens at Diemersfontein can offer up for his culinary pots.

Johan, who spent the last two and half years as Head Chef at River Café, Constantia Uitsig, takes up the challenge of building Seasons into a popular winelands restaurant, with a 'holistic' approach that instils a level of service that matches up to international standards, and at the same time offers a great eating experience…great food, fine wine, spectacular surroundings and a warm and friendly welcome.

Johan's own personal best is a long, lazy lunch, preferably al fresco, and the vital ingredients - good company, great wine (Bordeaux blend) and delicious, home cooked fare.

Gourmet picnics and food and wine pairing
can also be arranged through Seasons Restaurant.
