Welcome to Joostenberg Bistro
Our wine list showcases our own wines but also features a small selection of some of our favourites from neighbours and friends. We are sure that you will find something to match your meal perfectly.
The Joostenberg wines are made from grapes grown exclusively on Joostenberg farm just across the N1. Our family has lived and worked here for 5 generations. We farm the vineyards organically, therefore no herbicides or pesticides are used and a big emphasis is placed on improving the soil. Using tried and tested traditional methods, the wines are made in small batches. The aim is to produce high quality wines that are delicious, full of character and are expressive of their origin.
