Rupert & Rothschild Vignerons in Franschhoek recently renovated their restaurant and tasting room. On Wednesday, 15 October 2025, they officially launched their reimagined brand home, and wine.co.za was fortunate to have been invited to attend this special occasion. It was an elegant evening that perfectly reflected their brand ethos: understated beauty, quiet luxury, and time well spent. Before, the restaurant and tasting room used to be housed in the same building. Now the thoughtfully designed tasting room is separate from the restaurant, located in a repurposed building across the restaurant. The tasting room has ample seating areas where you can taste Rupert & Rothschild's wine range. Plus, it features a wine library where you can taste Rothschild wines from France, Spain, Argentina, and New Zealand. The restaurant is now more spacious, complete with a lounge where you can enjoy drinks and small plates, and a formal dining area overlooking the picturesque garden views. Now, it's your turn to linger a little longer. The restaurant and tasting room are open and waiting to welcome you. Photos: Lara Bredenkamp
