Arrive in style with Cape Town Helicopters, at the centre of the Cape Winelands, with the Simonsberg mountain, a fynbos-rich massif, home to exceptional vineyards since the 17th century. It’s on the southern slopes, with unrivalled views over False Bay to Table Mountain, that you will find Tokara’s vineyards and olive grove.
Tokara focuses on two of the greatest grape varieties in the world, Cabernet Sauvignon and Sauvignon Blanc, reflected in its three ranges
The Tokara Restaurant, situated 400 meters above sea level on top of the Helshoogte Pass outside Stellenbosch, offers its guests terroir-focused contemporary cuisine, award-winning wines and dramatic views over Stellenbosch and False Bay. The building housing the restaurant is a Cape architectural icon utilising glass, steel and stone.
The Tokara Restaurant drinks list is a personal and evolving selection of fine wines and spirits intended to complement the gastronomic feast you will experience. The menu is inspired by the South African countryside and farm produce, with the chef Carolize Coetzee who won the “Haute Performance Award†as South Africa’s most promising chef in the 2020 JHP Gourmet Guide, at its helm. The wine list comprises wines from neighbouring farms, estates elsewhere in South Africa, and also some of the most prestigious European estates. Sommelier Jaap-Henk Koelewijn will be happy to assist you in pairing a bottle of wine with the food you wish to order or to provide information on any of the drinks on this list.
