With South Africa’s shift to (adjusted) Level 4, I would like to support local restaurants, cafes, businesses and wine farms however I can at present.
Please note: Sit-down dining in restaurants and alcohol orders and/or deliveries are not permitted by law until 11 July (for further review then).
But that doesn’t mean you can’t support local right now! Here are some ways you can help:
- Order a takeaway coffee or sandwich from a local eatery or cafe;
- Pre-order wine online for delivery once the ban lifts;
- Order goods and meals for delivery and enjoy them safely at home.
- Book a safe accommodation stay at a local wine estate.
- Spread the word on social media. Even one retweet or share can help a business.
- Pop into a local farm shop for take-home goodies and explore the gardens or enjoy the MTB trails while you are there.
- Be kind and encouraging. Everyone is struggling at the moment – but some are fighting harder battles than us.
These are all small but powerful ways that we can help our hospitality, tourism and wine industries in this difficult time.
Places that I Can Personally Recommend

Although I have not eaten or purchased goods from every local restaurant, café or wine farm – there are a few I do have personal experience with.
I am happy to recommend as many of them on this post as I can find – so this list may be updated before 11 July.
For full details, click through on each listed place’s Instagram post. 🙂
Here, in no particular order, are some of the local places you can order takeaways/deliveries, visit safely or pre-order wine from:
